Chapter 1228: Wish to make to the Genie
[PIERSON CORPORATION]
Finn sat comfortably on the couch while Dean settled into the one-seater armchair.
"First of all, I would like to..." Finn hesitated briefly, considering his words. "...thank you for sending Max to meet us on the trip."
"Max?" Dean leaned back, feigning ignorance. "I didn’t know you met with Max during your trip."
"He told me you recommended the place for his team’s training ground."
"Ah." Dean nodded. "What a coincidence, then. Who would have thought, huh?"
Finn chuckled, shaking his head. Why was he surprised by Dean’s denial? Hence, he didn’t dwell on it since he had already delivered his message. The trip, though unexpected, had turned out well. Moreover, with Max in the mix, Finn had been entertained watching him get bossed around by Lily.
It also served as a reminder never to cross Lily. That woman was quite ruthless and wielded significant influence over the ladies. She was not to be messed with.
"Anyway, I just dropped by to see what you were up to," Finn said with a friendly smile. "But seeing you, I guess you’re fine. Better than I expected."
"And why wouldn’t I be fine?" Dean scoffed. "Atlas Bennet isn’t around, so not bumping into him for days has been a relief. I never realized how refreshing it could be to walk around the building without worrying about running into certain people. Surely, one would only appreciate what they have until they lose it."
