"Fine, if you don’t want to stay with , forget it, you can leave." He released her hand.
He took a piece of toast with his right hand and placed it on the plate, then reached for a bottle of mayonnaise, but he couldn’t unscrew the cap with one hand...
Without much thought, he just tossed the mayonnaise aside and was about to get up, seemingly not planning to eat breakfast.
Almost instinctively, she walked back to the table, and when Asher Land saw her approaching, he sat back down.
She unscrewed the cap of the mayonnaise, took a spoon to evenly spread it on the toast, then handed it to him.
He happily took the toast she handed him and took a bite.
"Asher Land, can you stop being so capricious in the future?"
"What?"
"You couldn’t unscrew the cap of the mayonnaise, couldn’t you ask the maid for help? What’s your deal with skipping breakfast?" Her tone was a bit reproachful, but to his ears, it was full of concern.
"Anyway, if you don’t stay with , the breakfast wouldn’t be enjoyable, might as well skip it."
"You..."
Sophie Smith was at a loss for words; sotis this man really was childish.
This ti, she didn’t leave early; she stayed and watched him finish breakfast before she went upstairs.
Asher Land watched her back, slowly curling his lips into a smile.
Well, having breakfast made him feel much better today.
...
The banquet hall at the old Land Family mansion.
"Mr. Davis, may I know what brings you here today?"
Nathan Land’s hearty laughter suddenly ca from the doorway, and Nolan Davis stood up, gentlemanly extending his hand to greet Nathan Land.
"Old Master Land, my apologies for the unexpected visit."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Davis?" Nathan Land rarely wore such a smile, "Has Mr. Davis been busy recently?"
Nolan Davis has had rapid growth in recent years, opening casinos and bars in Europe, making a splash in the entertainnt industry, almost occupying half the territory; in high circles, ntioning Nolan Davis’s na still commands respect, although Nathan Land wouldn’t bow to him because of this, but so interactions are still necessary.
rchants still value profits above all else; now that Nolan Davis has the capability to cooperate with Golden Era, Nathan Land doesn’t mind broadening Golden Era’s revenue.
"You’re too kind, Old Master Land, just so small businesses, not really busy." Nolan Davis said modestly.
"Mr. Davis is truly humble."
"To be honest, I’m here to find soone." Nolan Davis suddenly spoke up.
"Looking for soone?" Nathan Land nodded thoughtfully, lit a cigarette, and spoke unhurriedly, "Who is Mr. Davis looking for? If they’re within my Land Family mansion, just say the word."
"That’s right, I’m sure she’s here; the person I’m looking for is nad Sophie Smith."
Sophie Smith?
Nathan Land paused his smoking, squinted his eyes, and puffed out a cloud of smoke.
"What does Mr. Davis need with her?"
"Well, it’s like this, after attending Miss Morton’s birthday party last ti, when leaving, at the exit of the Land Family, my driver accidentally hit Miss Smith. I’m here to check how her injuries have healed?"
"Hmm." Nathan Land only responded with a hmm and didn’t say anything further.
"Actually, I don’t know what role Miss Smith plays in the Land Family? Is she a maid?"
Even though Nolan Davis already knew Sophie’s identity, at this mont, he seed to be deliberately mystifying the situation.
