Before Charlotte could protest, he signaled for the driver to go.
The "date" Evander had mentioned wasn't just for the two of them. He led her to Eldermere City's largest entertainment complex, where they took a glass elevator to the top floor.
Stepping into a lavish, gilded private suite, she was met with a scene of opulent revelry and hedonistic luxury.
"Mr. Evander." A middle-aged man in a crisp dress shirt approached and shook his hand. "A pleasure. My name is King. I've known Mr. Caleb for ten years, and he's mentioned you often. It's an honor to finally meet you."
Evander nodded. "The pleasure is mine."
The man gestured for him to take a seat.
Charlotte followed closely and sat beside him, shooting him a confused look. She had no idea why he had brought her to a place like this.
Shortly after Evander sat down, people began approaching one after another to offer him their business cards. He handled every interaction with effortless poise, navigating from small talk to in-depth discussions as if he were born for such occasions.
Charlotte sat quietly, trying her best not to draw attention to herself. But she gradually realized this was no simple social gathering; it was a silent game of chess.
Everyone was probing with their words and sizing each other up with their eyes. Behind the seemingly casual exchanges lay a complex web of competing interests.
She couldn't help but look at Evander again, noticing that while his gaze was calm, it held an unfathomable depth.
As the evening wore on, a well-dressed man walked over with a glass of wine. "Is this Mr. Evander's girlfriend? She looks rather familiar."
Before Charlotte could answer, Evander offered a casual smile. "She is a lady of the Rayburn family. Mr. Caleb asked me to bring her along so she could see the world."
"Ah, the heiress of the Rayburn family! My sincerest apologies. No wonder she looked familiar. My mistake." The man immediately smiled and raised his glass to Charlotte in a toast.
