Chapter 360


    Looking at the group of people at the meeting table with different expressions, I was a little anxious.


    Irvin''s words were a little too straightforward.


    Fantasia Company had the potential to achieve all the requirements and would definitely not end up the


    way Irvin envisioned. After a long time, Sherman finally opened his mouth to speak. He looked at Irvin


    and asked, "Are you sure that you will invest in the development of Al, Mr. Granger?"


    Irvin nodded and said, "Yes."


    The rest of the people seated at the meeting table were all investors. They didn''t know much about


    technology hence they didn''t have much to talk about. They all looked at Sherman and waited for his


    answer.


    After a long pause, Sherman stood up from his seat and walked towards Irvin. He stretched out his


    hand to Irvin and said, "Mr. Granger, hope that we would be able to work well."


    My mind went nk for a moment before finally realizing what was happening. Did we really seed?


    Then, we proceeded to sign the contract. Bothwyers from both parties checked the contents of the


    contract. Sherman said to Irvin and me, "Both of you came from Jarold City, it must''ve been a long trip.


    Tonight we''ll have a celebratory dinner at the Fortunate Restaurant, why don''t the two of youe


    along?"


    It''s a usual thing to have a celebratory meal after a sessful business deal. This was the culture of


    the business circle. If Sherman had not extended the invite first, Irvin would have done so.


    There were still a few more hours before dinner. Irvin and I went back to our respective ces. He went


    to the hotel while I headed for the vi.


    It had been a very long time since I had returned to Flora Hill. Fortunately, there was a caretaker to


    assure that everything was in ce. There have been many changes to the ce since I''vest been


    there.


    When I arrived at the vi, the caretaker that Hendrix hired had cooked several dishes for me. I only


    had a few bites of them as I did not have much of an appetite. Then, I headed to the bedroom for a


    nap.


    I was feeling drowsy and tired. I woke up at the crack of dawn that day and was sleep deprived as I did


    not have much sleep the previous night.


    I fell into a deep sleep and vaguely felt that there was someone by my side. I thought it was just my


    imagination as I had fallen into a deep sleep, but after a while, the feeling was still there. It felt a little


    like sleep paralysis that I once had when I was younger.


    I was so sleepy that I couldn''t pry my eyes open, yet I still could faintly feel that there was a person


    sitting by the bed. I felt anxious and scared at the same time but I knew that there was nothing I could


    do about it.


    I struggled to wake up from my nap. Beads of sweat had covered my forehead and I found that the


    bedroom was empty.


    It must have been because it had been a long time since I slept so deeply and that my body was


    weaker than usual.


    It was getting dark as I groggily headed down. The caretaker saw me and said to me, "Madam Arianna,


    your phone rang a few times. I''m afraid that there might be an emergency, it''s best if you take a look."


    I left my bag downstairs when I came home earlier. I went looking for my phone when I heard what she


    had said.


    It was Irvin who called. He messaged the restaurant''s address seeing that I did not return his call.


    At Fortunate Restaurant


    I went up to the second floor.


    Everyone was already at the restaurant when I arrived. Several of the executives saw me rushing in


    and said, "Director Reid, you must have been busy with work. You have to drink three shots for being


    I smiled and sat beside Irvin. I then drank three shots.


    Everybody was just chatting casually during the meal. I sat next to Irvin and he asionally helped fill


    my bowl with different dishes.


    I was already used to this gesture of his. Sherman looked and could not help but to smile, "Director


    Reid, look like you and Mr. Granger have a great connection with each other. If you weren''t married, I

    would''ve thought that Mr. Granger was your husband."


    Both Irvin and I froze for a moment. I lifted my head and said with a smile, "Well, we both have been


    working together for a long time. Don''t misunderstand our rtionship. My husband, Mr. Roberts is


    someone who gets jealous easily."


    I said it as a joke. Upon hearing it, everybody at the table burst outughing.
