Chapter 1376


    After exiting the elevator, Raeleigh took Santiago''s arm and walked in Jacky''s direction while Mr.


    Jormen''s brother followed beside them.


    Raeleigh leaned against Santiago, the two of them looking as affectionate as a real couple. The


    man thought that it was quiteughable, curving his lips in contempt.


    Raeleigh stared at him. In her eyes, he was mocking them, thinking the only thing a young man like


    Santiago seeded at was getting with a girl.


    She believed there was no way Santiago couldn''t tell when it was so obvious even to her. However,


    she found Santiago to be unmoved the two times she nced at his face.


    When they got to Jacky, he was standing by a double door. Two men, dressed in ck, were


    stationed in front of it, blocking Jacky from entering. They said nothing but refused to let him pass.


    Raeleigh could tell Santiago wasn''t anyone special there.


    Once they reached the doors, the man spoke, "This is Mr. Santiago."


    The guards looked at Santiago before putting their hands down. Jacky then pushed the door open


    but stood aside and turned to Santiago instead of entering.


    "Mr. Santiago, after you."


    Mr. Jorman''s brother gestured, and Santiago entered with Raeleigh by his side, then Jacky and he


    followed behind.


    The floor they were on were all private rooms. The room they entered was spacious, and the table


    could fit about thirty people, but Raeleigh saw only a handful present.


    There was a beautiful youngdy, an older man in sses with a white dress shirt, a bespectacled


    young man, and another middle- aged man dressed ordinarily.


    Raeleigh assumed that the older man in the center, without sses, was none other than Mr.


    Jormen.


    "Mr. Jormen."


    Santiago took Raeleigh to that man and greeted him.


    In response, Mr. Jormen let out a heartyugh; he was quite approachable, unlike his brother, who


    evidently looked down on them.


    "Time sure is magical; it seems like it was only yesterday when you were still a child. I remember


    when I first met your father, you still had to be carried in his arms. When you came with him, you


    caused a lot of trouble, turning my office upside down."


    Mr. Jormen pointed to a seat nearby and said, "Please, make yourselvesfortable."


    Coincidentally, there was an empty spot next to Mr. Jormen. Santiago let go of Raeleigh and sat


    down. He nced at the girl beside him passively and smiled. "I forgot how naughty I was when I


    was little."


    Santiago said sinctly, then pointed to the side and said, "You guys can sit there."


    Raeleigh sat as instructed, and Jacky followed along.


    Santiago pointed at Jacky, "He''s Jepherson''s friend, Jacky. He came to apany me especially.


    My brother has his hands fulltely; Jacky came here especially from Waverly Hills."


    Mr. Jormen pondered for a moment. "I''m sorry, I didn''t quite catch your name?"


    "Jacky Scott," Jacky responded with courtesy.


    Mr. Jormen mused over it and said, "Yamilet, sit beside thisdy over here. Get that young man to


    sit beside me." "Yes, father." The youngdy named Yamilet stood up and walked toward Raeleigh.


    She smiled at her as she took a seat beside her.


    Raeleigh returned a polite smile while Jacky sat beside Santiago as Mr. Jormen struck up a


    conversation with him.


    "Do you know Jack Town Hotel?"


    Jacky replied, "I own Jack Town Hotel."


    "So you''re that Jacky Scott from Waverly Vige?" Mr. Jormen continued inquiring.


    Jacky chose his words carefully. "I don''t know about that."


    "Serve the food."


    As Mr. Jormen spoke, he leaned to the side and sized Jacky up, "Oh youngd, your reputation


    precedes you. I''ve heard of your name for quite some time. I never thought that I''d meet you here.


    Let''s shake hands."


    Mr. Jormen stood up as he spoke, and everyone else followed suit apart from Raeleigh, Santiago,


    and Jacky.


    Santiago lowered his head slightly, his almond-shaped eyes downturned. Raeleigh decided that she


    would stay put, seeing as Santiago did not rise.


    Jacky, on the other hand, nced at Santiago before he stood up. Looking at Mr. Jormen''s hands,


    he epted the handshake.


    Mr. Jormen smiled. "I''m Jormen Lee. It''s a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can be friends."


    "It''s my honor."


    With that, Jacky sat back down.


    However, the two men on Jormen''s side were displeased with Jacky, thinking why a punk like him


    deserved such grand respect.


    They even mocked Santiago, saying birds of a feather really did flock together.


    Raeleigh sat in her seat, silent. Jormen sat back down and said, "I''ve given careful consideration to


    what we spoke about yesterday. I''m old, so I wasn''t thinking straight. Look, Santiago, I''ve arranged


    the job for you. It''s a good one. If you can do well, I can promise you you''ll sail right up to the top.


    This is a great opportunity."

    "Mr. Jormen, that was just all talk. I was carried away by a whim. Don''t take me seriously. I know it''s


    way too troublesome."


    Raeleigh wanted tough at Santiago''s pleasantries, constantly thinking it wasn''t him at all.


    Santiago even winked at Raeleigh. She was truly concerned for Santiago, considering the serious


    situation they were in.


    With how he acted, there was no wonder there were all sorts of rumors about him.


    Jormen took some time to think of his next words. "Are you angry at me, Santiago?"


    "What is there to be angry about? Oh, I almost forgot, this is for you, Mr. Jormen." Santiago took the


    tea leaves from Raeleigh and handed the box to Jormen. Jormen looked at the box, then opened it


    to have a smell. "This is my favorite red tea. Thank you very much, Santiago."


    But Santiago, the job is..."


    "I''m not taking it. Let''s eat."


    Santiago rejected him frankly. Jormen handed the tea leaves over to the person beside him and


    exchanged a few polite words before he fell silent.


    While they were eating, Jormen struck up a conversation with Jacky, asking about his purpose in


    town. Jacky replied he hadn''t thought it through, and that was the end of the conversation.


    A few momentster, Jormen introduced his daughter, Yamilet, to Santiago and Jacky, and the


    bespectacled young man was his son, Fabian.


    Raeleigh paid attention to Fabian. She had just been observing him, but to her surprise, he stared


    right at her.


    Although he looked suave, Raeleigh felt uneasy under his gaze.


    It was rude to stare at another person''s girlfriend, after all.


    However, he didn''t seem to be conscious of it, keeping his gaze on Raeleigh for a long, long time.


    Santiago noticed the displeased look on Raeleigh''s face. He looked at Fabian and said, "She''s my


    new girlfriend. If you''ve taken a fancy, Fabian, you can have her keep youpany!"


    Raeleigh blushed beet- red at Santiago''s words, then her face went pale, and she shot a re at


    Santiago.
