Opposite her was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and polished leather shoes, sporting gold-framed glasses.<\/p>\n<p>Claire was animatedly holding a folder, chatting away as if she were showcasing her portfolio and her new venture as a freelance designer, hoping the man would consider investing in her new project.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her enthusiasm, the man appeared disinterested in what she was saying. He even attempted to grab Claire\u2019s hand while reaching for the folder, but she instinctively pulled it back just in time.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie felt a surge of anger as he witnessed this outrageous scene!<\/p>\n<p>How dare that man try to make an unwanted advance on his wife!<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, the waiter approached with a plate of chips, but before he could set it down, Charlie hastily threw a twenty-dollar bill on the table and jumped to his feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep the change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>On the second floor of Little Italy, Claire struggled to mask her disgust as she maintained a polite smile, addressing the man across from her. \u201cMr. Murray, I\u2019ve compiled all of my company\u2019s future plans and prospects in this folder, which I believe will lead to promising developments. If you decide to partner with me, I assure you that I\u2019ll deliver exceptional project planning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Wilson, I recognize your talents and have faith in you,\u201d Mr. Murray replied, offering a stiff smile. \u201cHowever, we have recently invested significantly in various projects, and our capital is currently quite limited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Claire felt a twinge of disappointment. She had dedicated the entire morning to presenting her portfolio, but his responses had been ambiguous, leaving her puzzled.<\/p>\n<p>Noticing her downcast expression, Mr. Murray rubbed his hands together and said, \u201cActually, this isn\u2019t a dead end just yet. Let me consult with the senior executives first. To be honest, your portfolio is quite intriguing. Why don\u2019t we continue our discussion at 8 tonight? I\u2019d love to learn more about your work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUm, Mr. Murray, that\u2019s rather late\u2026\u201d Claire hesitated.<\/p>\n<p>Meeting at 8 PM would be pushing it, and there was a chance their conversation could stretch well past midnight, which wouldn\u2019t reflect well on her reputation as someone\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n<p>The man smiled. \u201cNo, it\u2019s not too late. Investment matters require thorough understanding and mutual trust, wouldn\u2019t you agree? I\u2019ll treat you to a lovely dinner tonight, and we can carry on our discussion. Come, Miss Wilson, let\u2019s shake hands for our future collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He extended his hand toward Claire\u2019s, a subtle flirtatious glint in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Murray had long been aware of Claire Wilson, the woman renowned as Aurous Hill\u2019s most beautiful lady, but he had never had the chance to meet her until now.<\/p>\n<p>Today, however, Claire had reached out to him directly, expressing her desire to break away from the Wilson family and seeking his investment in her new studio. He was thrilled! He envisioned a captivating evening with Claire, planning to sweep her off her feet!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie quietly slipped out of the house, wanting to avoid the heated argument still raging inside.
