"Nathalie, let introduce you. This is Mr. Jaycent, he ca to attend your promotion celebration."
He smiled slightly without any hesitation to introduce her, there was a subtle sense of pride in his eyes, and he said to the young man: "Mr. Kingsley, this is my granddaughter, Nathalie Quinlan, who has been studying in McKinney and just returned today."
Leonardy Zachmann quietly sweated on the side.
He knew Mr. Zachmann’s purpose of organizing this promotion celebration was to introduce Nathalie to this circle, and to inform others in Beijing that another mber had been added to the Zachmann Family.
However, given Mr. Jaycent’s status, he might attend to save the Yancey Family’s face, but that didn’t necessarily an he would regard their family highly.
Since the Zachmann Family might not even be held in high regard by Mr. Jaycent, Mr. Zachmann suddenly introducing the two could be awkward if Mr. Jaycent didn’t give face.
He was worrying and contemplating whether to smooth things over.
Unexpectedly, the young man glanced over at the girl, smiled slightly, and said in a relaxed and clear tone, "I know, we know each other."
Mr. Zachmann: ...
Leonardy Zachmann: ...
He didn’t co because of the Yancey Family’s face???
Did he co for Nathalie???
Leonardy Zachmann was quite shocked and instinctively looked toward the girl.
The girl adjusted her hat brim and didn’t speak.
It seed she was acknowledging this explanation.
Had Mr. Jaycent really co for Nathalie?
He felt montarily stunned, unable to recover.
Nathalie probably sensed their gazes on her and awkwardly explained, "An online friend I knew before, I had given him a call to co over."
An online friend...?
Online??
If Leonardy Zachmann didn’t know the man’s status, he would have thought it normal for young people to make friends online.
But the fact that Nathalie directly t soone from Beijing’s top circle online, just as an online friend, that... was a bit hard for him to digest.
"Ha ha." Mr. Jaycent laughed heartily, not at all upset by Nathalie’s ’online friend’ label, and added, "Exactly, I’ve known S... her as an online friend for many years. I only knew about her promotion celebration when she called . I ca uninvited, Mr. Zachmann please don’t mind."
He paused with a refreshing feeling, his ordinary facial features sohow not to be ignored, and continued, "I rushed over and didn’t have ti to prepare a gift for you, I will make it up next ti."
Mr. Zachmann struggled to find his voice for a while, not knowing how to react, as he originally intended to introduce Nathalie to Mr. Jaycent, but now it seed reversed, as if his granddaughter was introducing Mr. Jaycent to him.
This situation was too sudden, he really didn’t know how to respond.
Fortunately, after Mr. Jaycent finished speaking, he did not insist on a response, but turned and spoke to the girl in a familiar tone, "I have an urgent matter soon, so I can’t stay for the al."
Their relationship could indeed be described as ’online friends’ as they usually only contacted online.
But it was not rely that.
An ordinary ’online friend’ wouldn’t be enough for him to make a special trip.
But if this ’online friend’ was the girl before him, Mr. Jaycent still felt he should give enough face.
However, he indeed had an urgent matter to handle and couldn’t stay for the al.
"I’ve been waiting for you for a while and you weren’t here yet, my main purpose was to congratulate you. I’ll make up for the gift later."
