Zeke was speechless.
These people were nothing to him.
Even for Sole Wolf, he could easily get rid of them with a snap of his fingers.
When Mance realized Lacey and Nancy had arrived, he was filled with delight.
However, when he saw Zeke had tagged along, his expression darkened.
Walking over, he smiled at both ladies. “Nancy, Ms. Hinton, both of you look so ravishing in your gowns that it
reminded me of something.”
He greeted the two ladies and ignored Zeke.
Smiling, Nancy asked, “Mance, what is that?”
Mance replied, “A Goddess... No, I think you are more beautiful than Goddesses. Actually, there are a lot of pretty
ladies here tonight. But, in front of both of you, they simply pale in comparison.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNancy chuckled. “Mance, you flatter us.”
He wasn’t saying it just to make them happy.
It was the truth.
Both of them were born pretty. Their gowns simply made them look stunning.
Their arrival attracted the attention of many “successful men” who came over to make conversation.
“Mance, introduce us?”
Mance grinned. “They are my friends, Lacey and Nancy.”
The word “friends” had a broad meaning and left a lot to the imagination of others.
Many guests came to complement their beauty.
“Haha, I’m from the entertainment industry and often mingle with female stars. Even then, they are nothing
compared to both of you.”
“I didn’t expect Rivermouth to still have such beauties born here. It is fertile ground indeed.”
“You ladies must be entrepreneurs. What businesses are you in? Perhaps there will be opportunities for
cooperation.”
Nancy and Lacey were astounded.
These were all of society’s elite who they never even had the chance to talk to before.
Now, they were being swarmed with compliments instead. Their family would be proud to see them.
Both women were aware that these people were being nice to them on the account of Mance. Hence, they felt
indebted to him.
Checking the time on his phone, Mance said, “Jeffrey will probably be here soon. I’ll be at the main table
entertaining him. Nancy, do you want to come along with me to the main table? I’ll introduce you to him.”
Nancy was delighted. “Oh, really? I-I can sit at the same table as Jeffrey? It would be an honor.”
Mance then looked at Lacey. “Lacey, there’s still one more seat available. Don’t you have a bunch of applications
stuck at the mayor’s office? Why don’t you sit at the main table? When the time comes, I’ll bring up your issue with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeffrey. I’m sure he will help you approve it.”
Lacey was elated. “Thank you, I’m really grateful.”
Mance then led the two ladies ahead.
Meanwhile, Zeke followed behind.
Mance became upset and said, “I’m sorry, the main table is full. There’s no place for you. You should sit at the
cheap seats.”
The crowd furrowed their eyebrows in curiosity and wondered. Zeke actually wanted to sit at the main table,
despite not being invited to do so by Mance.
Even all the other successful businessmen weren’t qualified to sit there, so what gave him the right? He was thick-
skinned indeed.
Zeke replied, “If I sit at the cheap seats, how would Lacey be able to discuss the listing application with Jeffrey?”
Lacey answered, “Zeke, leave it to me. You should sit someplace else first. When I’m done, we’ll go home.”
Zeke shook his head.
“Lacey, you misunderstood me. What I meant was if I sit at the cheap seats, Jeffrey will definitely sit there with me.
With you at the main table, how are you going to discuss your business with him?”
