Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife

The friend Decker came here with had regular business dealings with Carter Corporation and was considered one of their more respected business partners. It was out of consideration for his status that he and Decker were seated in an esteemed seat at the table right next to Odell’s.

One of the senior executives was put in charge of hosting everyone and promptly addressed everyone with a brief speech.

After everyone was invited to sit, the dinner commenced.

Decker picked up the cutlery gracefully, minding his manners all the while. He waited until all of the noteworthy men had given toast to Odell before raising the glass himself and motioning politely in Odell’s direction. “President Carter, it is a great honor to have met you here. Let me give you a toast.”

Odell looked at him rather cordially. “You are very kind, President Rockwell.”

Decker downed the glass of wine.

Odell raised his glass and took a humble sip from it.

Decker sat back in his chair after that.

While dinner was ongoing, several executives of Carter Corporation exchanged casual small talk with their business partners.

After eating several bites of food, just enough to fill his stomach, Decker looked at the people around him. Upon noting that they were wrapping up their conversation, he asked quite nonchalantly with a friendly smile, “Speaking of which, why isn’t the current president of Carter Corporation, Mr. Roland here?”
