"And I hate it when people lie to me. How can you tell me you've booked the restaurant in advance when nothing of that sort happened? I hope the same thing won't happen twice," said Stuart while glaring at him. "No, it won't. I'm sorry. And to make up for it, I'll pay for everyone's dinner here," said Hamish while wiping his sweat away. He never expected he would bump into a high-ranking official here.

The elders and bodyguards behind him all dropped their heads in fear. 'No wonder Mister Severin didn't panic when he found out we worked for the mayor,' they thought.

"Umm, Mister Severin, it must be fate that brought us together. So is it okay if we join you for dinner?" asked Stuart respectfully.

Severin looked at him for a while before nodding. "You're more than welcome to. That is, if you don't mind. we've eaten most of the food already."

"Haha. How can we mind? Eating with you would be an honor for us," replied Stuart flatteringly.

"Cook up a few more dishes and set up the table for us," Hamish instructed Bruce.

"Yes, Mister Hamish. I'll get on it right away," said Bruce. He then sighed with relief and thought, 'All's well that ends well.'

Very soon, everyone started drinking happily.

After a while, Stuart asked curiously, "Mister Severin, why did you come to Wymount City so suddenly? Did something happen?"

"I came here to look into Canis Hall."

"Canis Hall?" repeated Hamish with a frown.

Severin turned to him and asked, "Yeah. Have you heard of it before?"

Hamish smiled wryly and shook his head. "No, Mister Severin. But don't worry. I can get my men to look into it. May I know where you're staying now? I'm asking so that I could pass you a message as soon as we find out anything about Canis Hall."

Rico raised his eyebrow and smiled. "Mister Hamish, Mister Severin is actually Chelsea's boyfriend too. So of course he's staying at her house."

"Oh!" he cried with a smile as the realization dawned on him.

Stuart was stunned too but then he smiled mysteriously at Severin. 'Well, I shouldn't be surprised that he got himself a new girl. He's one good-looking and capable man after all.”

Severin's lips started twitching. He never expected things to bump into an old friend. 'How did me pretending to be Chelsea's boyfriend so that that stupid Rico will back off ended up with him announcing to the whole world that I'm her boyfriend?'

Chelsea was beyond embarrassed too. She felt like she was in a dream even though she never dreamed that her 'boyfriend' was actually the south county governor.

She could not help but mentally berate herself when she recalled how she tried to give Severin 750,000 dollars as a reward for saving her at the airport. "Why, that money is probably chump change to him!' she thought.

Rico was actually feeling happy to make an acquaintance of such a high-ranking official but his happiness was dashed when Audrey whispered to him, "Mister Rico, we're done for. Remember how we made fun of

Mister Severin for being poor and all that? Well, do you think he'll hold a grudge against us?"
