Chapter 84

Jeff entered the room and respectfully told lan, “Boss, the Pennyfeather family called. They want you to join them for dinner.” lan found the whole thing a bit Ironic. Dinner, really?

He guessed they must’ve heard he was coming back and thought that a dinner invite would be enough to keep him around.

All he felt for this family was pure annoyance.

“Make up an excuse and turn it down”

Jeff nodded but then added, “Mr. Pennyfeather said Ms. Pennyfeather was really looking forward to meeting you. Apparently, she even prepared a few of their family’s signature dishes.”

Maja, sitting across from lan, clenched her spoon tighter upon hearing this. She could sense her father’s desperate efforts to win lan’s favor.

Disappointment and mockery flashed in her eyes.

Sadly, her father’s efforts would only make lan more annoyed with her.

As expected, lan didn’t hide his distaste. He responded, “Tell the Pennyfeather family all I need from them is to stick to the contract. Don’t get any other ideas.”

Jeff nodded and quietly left the room.
