After Marina left, the tense atmosphere eased a little.

Sam Turner, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, called for someone to clean

up the broken pieces on the ground and replace Rachel and David’s cutlery.

As the both of them sat down, they exchanged a look for just a second before averting their eyes simultaneously.

David’s eyes could not help but darken a little as his gaze swept over Jimmy. Then, he turned to look at the others. “Everyone, please be at ease and go on as usual.”

“Mr. Jones, you had declined our invitation in the past. It’s an honor that you could come today.” Kyle Green held up his wine glass, the first to speak to warm up the atmosphere.

Seated next to Kyle, Mary rolled her eyes like she was disgusted.

After all, they were one of the four wealthiest families in Seaxas. The way he was fawning over someone else was really embarrassing.

“Mr. Green, you’re too kind.” David looked up at Kyle. “I was busier the past few years and didn’t have time. I hope I didn’t disturb everyone with my sudden appearance.”

Whether it was his elegance or the way he spoke, not many wealthy young men could match up to David.

In particular, David’s refined facial features made all the young socialites present look at him shyly.

As time slowly ticked by, everyone’s stomachs were almost full, but no one left early.

The reason was that David’s aura was too strong from where he was seated at the head of the table. No one dared to act out of turn.

But Lucas was different.

He was the first to stand, raising his chin at Rachel. “Rae-Rae, let’s go!”

Rachel pursed her lips and did not answer. She glanced at David seated at the head of the table, her eyes holding a hint of reluctance.

However, it was not appropriate to get too close to David now. It was not the time for romance.

She took a deep breath and got up to leave with Lucas.

David raised his eyes slightly, stroking his finger against his wine glass as his thin lips curled up slightly. “Miss Grey, please wait.”

His deep voice was cold as usual, making it impossible for anyone to hear any emotion in it.

However, the short sentence made Rachel’s heart skip a beat.

The young socialites present had been trying to get close to David. As they heard David initiate contact with Rachel, their expressions changed rapidly.

At that moment, if envy and jealousy could materialize, Rachel would have been riddled with holes under the glares of the other young socialites.

Rachel glanced toward David and smiled calmly. “How can I help you, Mr. Jones?”

David’s wrist moved slightly, his thin lips curling up into a faint smile. “No help necessary. I just heard that the scenery around here is lovely. I hoped Miss Grey would be able to show me around. How

about it?”

His cold voice was slightly deep, naturally putting distance between himself and others, but it also strangely warmed people’s hearts slowly.

“Mr. Jones, I’m afraid that’s not appropriate!” A delicate voice suddenly spoke up.

As everyone heard this, they turned to look at Hannah Shain.

Hannah quietly gritted her teeth, trying her best to ignore everyone’s gazes. Sincerely, she spoke, “To be honest, Miss Grey is fresh off the boat. I’m afraid she won’t be familiar with this area. I know of a hot spring in the back mountain. It’s said to have healing effects. Mr. Jones, if you don’t mind, why don’t I bring you…”

At this point, her face turned red, almost like a shy flower waiting to bloom.
