Basil Jaak stepped out, and Simon immediately introduced, "This is Mrs. Shaw, the wife of our newly appointed Mayor Shaw."
Basil Jaak glanced at Enoch and said with a faint smile, "Oh, it's Mrs. Shaw. I thought it was Mayor Shaw himself."
"You..." Enoch glared at Basil Jaak coldly, wishing she had a knife in her hand to cut him down right there and then.
Simon frowned and said, "Mr. Jaak, aren't you afraid of offending Mrs. Shaw and facing unpleasant consequences?"
Basil Jaak scoffed, "Do you think she would have given me a warm welcome even if I had acted differently? Mr. Solomon, we both know what's going on, so why pretend to be confused?"
Upon hearing Basil Jaak's words, Simon was startled at first and then said indifferently, "Well, since Mr. Jaak has made his stance clear, let me be frank. Mrs. Shaw heard about the opening of your shop and her Audi just happens to need maintenance, so she made a special trip to see if your place could take on the job."
