Chapter 366


    Nathan had been stuck in his previous department for quite a while, always under the thumb of his


    boss, but recently he got a promotion.


    He’s always been talented, just not so well–educated. However, after shining in a recent task, the CEO


    of Silverstone Enterprises noticed him and decided to keep him close for mentoring. He found Nathan


    to be quite a handyman at work, so he decided to keep him around.


    By the timen walked into the private room, the CEO of Silverstone Enterprises, Judson, and his


    assistant Nathan were already there, along with several other high–ranking officials from Silverstone


    Enterprises.


    Judson got up with great enthusiasm to greetn.


    “Mr. Raymond, thanks foring.”


    Judson is a sharp guy. Seeingn’s interest in Nathan, he introduced them, “This is my newly promoted


    assistant, Nathan. Nathan,e meet Mr. Raymond.”


    Nathan was not a standout in the looks department, often overlooked in a crowd.


    “Mr. Raymond, I’ve always admired you.”


    They had met a few times before, but Nathan always felt there was something unusual aboutn,


    though he couldn’t put his finger on it.


    After everyone took their seats, Judson took the opportunity to express his gratitude, ordering the most


    expensive dishes on the menu. The restaurant specialized in business banquets, so the prices were


    naturally steep, costing over $20,000 for a table of food.


    Sitting beside him, Carlene could feel his gaze subtly lingering on Nathan.


    After a few founds of drinks,n put down his wine ss and asked.


    “Nathan must be married already, right?”


    His fingers idly circled the rim of the ss as if it was just a casual question.


    Even though Silverstone Enterprises is a big name in the renovation industry, everyone seemed a bit


    tense when facingn. Nathan felt the pressure


    most of all.


    He didn’t expectn to ask about him and quickly replied, “Not yet.”


    The atmosphere became a bit awkward. Judson quickly smoothed things over, “Nathan is young;


    there’s no rush for marriage. On the contrary, Mr. Raymond, you and this beautifuldy next to you


    must be getting married soon, right?”


    Carlene’s eyes sparkled, and a smile tugged at her lips.


    He didn’t deny it.


    Carlene breathed a sigh of relief. She had been apanyingn all day, and it seemed her efforts


    were not in vain..


    The waiter brought in a new dish, and Nathan immediately helped clear the table.


    Judson was very pleased with Nathan’s performance and patted him on the shoulder.


    “Mr. Raymond, let me.”


    Ian furrowed his brows but didn’t say anything.


    A crisp sound rang out next to his ear as Nathan was about to hang the jacket. Two small silvery–blue

    objects had fallen to the floor


    Startled, he immediately bent down to search but only found one. The other was nowhere to be found.


    Seeing Nathan hunched over in the distance, Judson asked what had happened.


    “Nathan, what’s going on?”


    Nathan’s forehead was covered in sweat, his throat dry.


    “A small–item of Mr. Raymond’s has fallen. I only found one.”


    Sitting next ton, Carlene immediately recognized the item as the cufflink she had given him. She


    wasn’t pleased.


    “That’s a cufflink I gave him, and it’s very important. How could you lose it?”


    Carlene has a bit of a temper at home, evident from the p she had given her maidst time. But in


    front of others, she always pretended to be gentle.


    But this cufflink was a gift ton, andn rarely epts gifts.


    Fear gripped Nathan’s heart.


    “Ms. Shepard, I’ll look again.”


    Carlene got up and looked around on the floor for a bit but didn’t find it either.


    The object was small, and the beautifully designed but uneven floor made it even harder to find.


    After only a short search, Carlene returned to her seat and said, “You better find it quickly.”


    Judson was about to say a fewforting words when the door to the private room was pushed open,


    and Samuel walked in with Maja.


    The Brown family’s business had a lot of opportunities to cooperate with Silverstone Enterprises.


    Samuel had just taken over the family business. Despite his strong methods, he was still very keen on


    maintaining good rtions withn, especially knowing thatn was here too.


    When Samuel led Maja, she instantly read his mischievous smile and knew that he was up to


    something..
