Chapter 774 I Have No Appetite Dining With You
“Mom, he is Mr. Tanner I told you about,” Sharon whispered into Carolyn’s ear. “He is very good at what he does and says he knows you and Dad from way back.”
“Mr. Tanner?” Carolyn frowned and studied Adrien carefully. She could not remember when she had known this man, but the familiarity was real. Besides, that inexplicable familiarity made her blush and flutter. She hurriedly looked away, her cheeks a little red and hot.
Adrien swept his eyes over her with a meaningful smile on his lips.
The four men soon came over. The first thing Peter did was look around, obviously searching for Jolina. Not long after, he walked in a direction.

“No!” Kisa declined right away. “I have no appetite for dining with you.”
At that moment, the director suddenly called out.
