The few men next to Cindy saw the white Land Rover parked nearby and knew something was wrong,
so they didn’t dare advance.
This wasn’t their turf, and they would be in trouble if they offended someone.
They picked up the man that was down and left.
Without her backers, Cindy was a lot less intimidating and ran away too.
Elaine was still processing what happened when the man helped her up.
"Ms.Xavier, are you alright?"
She looked at him, stunned.
"Aren’t you..."
She was familiar with him.It was the manager of the cafe.
He smiled and replied, "I was in the club with my boss, and we saw you when we came out."
The man in the Land Rover walked over in his casual suit with a black turtleneck top.
The top was fitting, and the lines could clearly be seen.He was fit but not muscular.
Muscular people wouldn’t look great in fitted clothes, and people who were too skinny would make it
look hollow.He wore it nicely.He was a good-looking gentleman.
"Are you alright?" Elaine finally recovered and smiled.
"I’m fine, thanks to you." The man frowned when he smelled the alcohol.
"It’s not a good idea to drink and drive. Where do you live? I'll send you."
He then gave the keys to the manager.
The manager took the keys and got into the Land Rover.
Elaine sobered up after what happened, but her head was aching.She could drive back, but she was
afraid the police might arrest her for a DUI.
Thus, she accepted the offer.
After getting into the car, she noticed that the car was spacious and cool looking.
"Thank you.Please send m e to the Xavier mansion at South Lake Avenue.The manager nodded, then
started driving.Elaine had a splitting headache on the way back until the man handed her a sealed
water bottle.
"Drink up.It’s help."
"Thanks."
She took it and twisted the cap.
"What a coincidence that you were at the club too."
He didn’t reply, but the manager smiled and said, "That was indeed a coincidence.He went over
because there was a meeting."
Ian Summer smiled.
"Why were you there then?"
"To speak with some clients."
She threw her head back and drank from the bottle.She drank half the bottle and burped.
Ian turned his face to look at her and chuckled.
"You need to speak to clients too?"
Elaine looked into his eyes.
"How did you know who I am?"
The carriage was dark, so the outside lights lighted his face on and off.He looked away but answered
truthfully, "You were at Beyond Tech.I’ve heard of you."
"I think you’re quite an interesting person."
"I’m not as interesting as you think."
They looked at each other, and the atmosphere changed in the dark car.
Unfortunately, it was ruined by Elaine’s sudden burp.
He laughed.
"You should drink more water."
Elaine was ashamed, but she could only drink to ease the tension.
The car stopped in front of the mansion.
Elaine got out, waved at them, and walked into the yard.
The white Land Rover finally disappeared into the night.
At Blackgold...
Quincy was speaking to Nolan in the office.
"Mr.Saldana knows some people in Hewston.I didn’t expect him to still hold a grudge against Tanner for
not giving him the Bronze Bay project.Mr.Saldana wouldn’t dare play tricks against Nolan in Bassburgh,
but it would be different once Nolan went to Hewston.
