Chapter 491: Cringey But, Can Still Be Heart Fluttering
"We shouldn’t bother you much longer. We’ll head to our seats.. I’m just glad to meet you here, CEO Xu."
Daniel chimed in after Calix and Nicholas retracted their hands. Belinda said nothing, still seemingly nervous to be around Calix after their previous meeting at the hotel[01].
"Perhaps we will cross paths again," Calix nodded once at Daniel, thinking how smart he was for not overstaying his welcome, "I’d love to talk more to you and your partner, Mr. Yan."
Edward remained quiet as he observed the three men’s interaction. Like Calix, he didn’t let his disgust toward Daniel and Nicholas be evident on his face.
"It’ll be our pleasure to meet you again, CEO Xu. I’ve heard of the countless achievements you led," Nicholas spoke, still wearing the polite smile on his face, "May you enjoy the auction, CEO Xu."
Calix drifted his gaze to Nicholas, feeling funny as he heard the praise sung by the latter for him. With an indiscernible glint of mockery in his eyes, Calix simply said, "Likewise, Mr. Wu."
Nicholas deepened his smile. Nodding once, he took a step back before walking away. Daniel and Belinda also did the same. They returned to their seats in the third row.
Calix and Edward glanced at the trio before returning their focus to the stage. They saw the auctioneer talking to the attendants before getting up the stage.
"I thought of a more dramatic meeting, Boss Xu," whispered Edward without looking at Calix. His voice was so low, faintly audible to the man beside him.
"Thank goodness, it didn’t," Calix opened the booklet again, seeing the two items he wished to get for Leslie and Calliope, "They most likely tried to approach me normally first."
Edward just let out a low hum. Turning his head toward Calix, he saw how engrossed his boss was with the booklet.
