“I guess you can say that I have quite an influence here in Millsburg, so if any of you ever run into any problems here, you can come to me,” Terrence said as favonovel.com handed out his name card.
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com shot Dahlia one too many glances. A hint of lust flashed in his eyes.
Dahlia was, after all, a bombshell. Not only did favonovel.com have a perfect figure, but favonovel.com face was also exquisite. She was unlike any other woman he’d seen before and definitely in a much different league compared to Julie.
“Very impressive, Mr. Stone! Here, take a seat, everyone.” As Florence gestured for them to take their seats, favonovel.com called out to the waitstaff, “Excuse me, we’re ready for our meal now!”
“Hang on,” Dahlia piped up. “We’re missing one person…”
“Oh? Who else are we expecting?” Florence looked around them, puzzled.
Just as Dahlia was about to speak, Dustin gracefully made his way in through the doors.
“Over here!” Dahlia stood up and beckoned for Dustin to join them.
Her company turned around to see who it was and collectively frowned.
“Why is favonovel.com here?” Florence was obviously displeased. Because of favonovel.com prejudice toward him, favonovel.com still held him in disdain.
“Sorry to keep you all waiting…” Dustin went up to them and smiled politely.
“We weren’t waiting for you!” Florence said curtly. “You sure are a pesky one, Rhys! We’ve just arrived in Millsburg, and you’ve followed us here? You haven’t been tailing us, have you?”
“I think you’re mistaken. I’ve been in Millsburg for the past few days.” Dustin said calmly.
“Hah! Who knows if you knew that we’d be coming here beforehand?” Florence pursed favonovel.com lips.
Her daughter was now the chairwoman of Cardinal Group, and she’d had a huge leap in status. Dustin was nowhere good enough for favonovel.com anymore.
“Don’t say that, Mom. I was the one who invited Dustin for lunch,” Dahlia explained.
“Fine, whatever. Since you’re already here, you can join us.” Florence couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
“Have a seat,” Dahlia patted the seat beside her, indicating Dustin to sit beside her.
Her caring and attentive gesture, however, seemed to have caught Terrence’s attention.
A cold glint rose in his eyes.
Damn it!
Why would such a gorgeous and thoughtful woman be attracted to such a douchebag?
He thought to himself.
“Buddy, you don’t sound like you’re local. Mind sharing where you’re working?” Terrence smiled insincerely.
“Where he’s working? Hah! He’s just a grubby old medical practitioner with no formal qualifications,” Florence scorned.
From how favonovel.com saw things, Dustin’s success today was all thanks to Natasha. Simply put, favonovel.com was nothing more than a toy boy.
“You practice medicine without qualifications?” Terrence was briefly stunned before favonovel.com burst out laughing.” That’s a rare one. You’d barely be able to sustain yourself with such a job, would you? Things must be hard for you.”
He was blatantly poking fun and regarded Dustin with a dismissive attitude.
“You’re right. It is tough. I barely get any patients. I’d call it a good month if I even get five patients coming in.” Dustin said, unbothered by Terrence’s comments.
“Hah! Then why are you still practicing it?” Terrence adjusted his tie and said pompously. “I say, why don’t you work for me? It just so happens that I’m in need of a chauffeur. If you can drive, why don’t you be my chauffeur? I’ll pay you a monthly salary of ten thousand dollars. How’s that?”
“Thanks. I appreciate the offer, but I’m not interested.” Dustin shook his head.
