When Finn Chen was discussing about the dinner with Annie, Cai Chen was extremely agitated.
There was only less than three minutes left before the half-hour time limit Ferry Xie gave him, but he still couldn’t think of any solution to the problem.
Just at this moment, Ferry called him.
"Cai, how are things going? Did Princess Annie forgive you?" On the phone, Ferry asked in an anxious tone.
Princess Annie’s wrath had reached the ears of many leaders. These leaders had put pressure on Cai, asking him to calm Annie’s anger as soon as possible.
"I haven’t seen Princess Annie yet." Cai bit the bullet and confessed. Because it had reached this level, he didn’t dare to hide anything from Ferry.
"What?! You haven’t seen Princess Annie yet?!"
Ferry was ready to beat Cai up right then.
"Cai, you piece of shit!" Ferry exploded.
Before Cai reacted, Ferry added: "Cai, that’s enough! Pack up your things and leave!"
"Leader!" Cai wanted to explain, but Ferry hung up the phone immediately.
Cai was ashamed. Ferry basically had announced the end of his career.
Soon, the night fell.
Hathaway chose a small private restaurant in City Y as the dining place.
Only the powerful in City Y were eligible to feast there.
Today, Hathaway had reserved the entire restaurant.
The owner knew that the princess of the Country B would dine here today, so he had arranged it very carefully.
At eight o’clock in the evening, a bulletproof Rolls Royce stopped at the gate of the restaurant.
Annie and Hathaway were sitting side by side at the back seats of the car.
When the car stopped, bodyguards got out of the car and checked the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, they opened the door for Annie.
After Annie and Hathaway got out of the car, Hathaway glanced at Annie with a smile and said: "Annie, you can go in by yourself."
"Hathaway, can you go with me? I’m a little nervous." Annie glanced at Hathaway as she cupped her rosy cheeks.
Hathaway smiled helplessly: "Annie, there is no need to be nervous. As far as I know, Finn is easy to talk to."
"Besides, this is the first time you two met officially. I don’t want to be a third wheel."
"Alright. Then, I’m going in." Annie took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mind.
Although only attending a private dinner with Finn, Annie had spent nearly two hours dressing up before going out. She paid much more attention to her appearance today than on the first day she arrived in Country C.
Annie put on a light makeup. She still wore her favorite white dress with a beige coat on the outside.
She put on a burgundy gemstone necklace on her neck. Her hair combed into a ponytail. She wanted to look elegant but also adorable.
"Good wine, good food."
Annie exclaimed after drinking a glass of wine and spooned a piece of braised pork.
Then, Annie tasted the other three dishes one after another, in which she reacted in awe.
"Dear Finn, for the second glass of wine, I will toast to you. Thank you for helping me."
Annie picked up the wine glass, but she did not clink them immediately.
She gazed sincerely at Finn: "Eight years ago, if you didn’t save me, I would have died in the hands of those bandits. You are my benefactor and the benefactor of Country B’s Royal Family. Our consortium came to Country C because of you. My father wishes to express his gratitude to you."
"Tell your father that it is not necessary." Finn beamed and clinked glasses with Annie.
After the second glass, Annie did not proceed to eat. She asked: "Dear Finn, why does the Chen Family want to kill you? I have heard that you are also from the Chen Family. In a sense, you should be relatives."
As a royal princess, Annie was no stranger to the power struggle of the royal family and was aware of the cruelty of it, but she felt that Finn’s situation had nothing to do with power struggle.
"Relatives?" Finn was startled at first. He smiled bitterly: "The Chen Family is not my relative."
"They are my enemies."
"They were the ones who murdered my mother."
"Ah?!" Annie was shocked, she stared at Finn apologetically and uttered, "Dear Finn, I apologize. I shouldn’t have mentioned this."
"It doesn’t matter. It’s all over." Finn waved his hand.
