Beyond The Divorce - Season 6 Episode 73

I calmly replied, “Mr. Martin, do you have other intentions?” “Haha… I have no ill intentions, Ms. Chloe. I want to express my hospitality, especially since I’ve always had a soft spot for beautiful women like you.” “You’ve flatteredenough, Mr. Martin. What did you want to discuss?” “Jeremiah, tell them to serve the food. We can chat while dining,” Martin ordered. “Ms. Chloe, you’ve been discussing business all day, so you must be hungry. Let’s eat first and then talk later.” He had a gentle expression, as if he were my old friend.

Jeremiah rushed to the door and signaled a waiter to bring the food. I took my bag, rummaged through it, and casually turned on my recording pen.

I noticed Martin watching me, so I took a pack of wet wipes and placed it on the table to avoid suspicion. Immediately after, I calmly put my bag behind my chair.

I pulled out a wet wipe and wiped my hands, but Jeremiah seemed dissatisfied. “What is the meaning of this, Ms. Chloe?” I looked at him and feigned surprise. “W-What do you mean?” Jeremiah noticed my composure and felt helpless. He glanced at Martin and urgently gestured toward my hand. “What’s she trying to say?” I knew he hinted atdisrespecting Martin by wiping my hands after the handshake. I asked Martin, “Isn’t it tfor dinner? Is there a problem withwiping my hands before eating?” Martin’s lips twitched before he smiled. “It’s no problem at all.” I put down the wet wipe and looked at him. “Shall we get back to the main topic? I believe you didn’t invitejust for dinner, correct? Since we’re business people, business should be more important than a meal, don’t you think?” Martin stared atwith a hint of admiration. He nodded and said, “All right, let’s return to the main topic.

I was pleased since he seemed to drop his guard against me.

“Ms. Chloe, I arranged for Mr. Jeremiah to negotiate with you in Foswood. That was also my cousin’s recommendation since I lack a partner like you in my ventures.” Martin gestured toward Chad as he spoke. I knew I was right in assuming Chad was a close relative.

Martin continued, “I have numerous construction projects every year. People are more demanding these days, especially regarding quality. Those I previously collaborated with were just makeshift teams.” I knew he meant what he said. Given my encounter with Jeremiah, who appeared relaxed while visiting Tanum Corporation, it was clear he had done nothing wrong. With Martin’s help, his development company was quite prestigious in Bourdamun.
