Chapter 429 - 428: His Lucky Star
When leaving the hospital, it was already 6 p.m., and the Vance Family members seemed to be gathering in increasing numbers. Since the Chinese New Year was approaching, many members who were out of town were making their way back, and then all cramming into the hospital. Yusuf Zuck couldn’t even find a chance to be alone with little miss Vance.
She hadn’t woken up yet, but it seemed likely she would either tonight or tomorrow. This was what Sophia said, so the Vance Family all came over and kept vigil.
Even though Yusuf Zuck was officially Ember Vance’s boyfriend, he wasn’t familiar with these relatives of the Vance Family, so he felt very out of place and quite uncomfortable.
Around seven o’clock, he arrived at the restaurant in the New Century Hotel. This was the table Fleur Carson had booked for him; he was supposed to have dinner with Ruth Wilcox.
Fleur Carson had met with Yusuf Zuck briefly downstairs before heading back home, after all, he now had a wife and children.
Ruth Wilcox, in the restaurant, seemed even more slender than before. Having been away for days, she appeared travel-worn. When they met, they hugged each other, and then she smiled and said, "Does the chairman have any new directives?"
Yusuf Zuck was momentarily stunned. Fleur Carson should know about the New Century Hotel matter, but he would never blab. Now that Ruth Wilcox knew, it meant she must have learned it through another channel.
"Who told you?" Yusuf Zuck asked as he poured her a glass of juice.
"Marlon Shepherd is the company’s legal adviser, and he even came to deliver my appointment order. He got married, and many of the company’s executives attended as well. I heard you were the wedding officiant?" Ruth Wilcox said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
"Are you upset?" Yusuf Zuck asked cautiously.
