Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Was He Having Trouble with His Legs?

Judging by the figure, it should have been an elderly person, just that they had difficulty moving

around.

I thought of the person I had been talking to behind the screen in the private room, and I couldn’t help

but frown. Could he be Daniel, Sebastian’s friend? Earlier in the private room, he said he couldn’t get

up to greet me because his leg was inconvenient?

However, what did these factors have to do with his meeting with me? He didn’t show up, but still

agreed to have dinner with me, to hear my thanks. The key point was, since Sebastian had come, why

didn’t he come out to eat together?

“Madam, what’s wrong?” Noticing my gaze, Roy asked.

I shook my head, responding with a simple, “No.”

Roy started the car and left the restaurant.

I watched in the rearview mirror as Sebastian lifted the man into the car. I didn’t know what the man

said to Sebastian, but she stood by the car, nodding politely, before getting into the driver’s seat.

Watching the way the two interacted, I couldn’t help but frown. The more I looked at this scene, the

more familiar it seemed, as if I was witnessing the interaction pattern between Walter and Roy.

Didn’t Sebastian say they were friends? Why does it look more and more like a superior-subordinate

relationship?

Although I was suspicious, the person had helped me after all. I didn’t think too much about it and

leaned back in the wheelchair, slightly

closing my eyes to feign sleep. Thinking about Walter’s reaction just now, I felt a slight stir in my heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke to Roy, “Mr. Austen, what project was your Mr. Hinton

discussing with Jacob tonight?”

What I wanted to ask was, would tonight’s incident affect Walter’s work?

Roy gripped the steering wheel, looking at the road ahead, and said seriously, “They didn’t discuss the

project. Mr. Hendrix invited Mr. Hinton to dinner, saying it was to reminisce about old times.”

“Reminiscing?” I frowned, the term ‘reminiscing’ carried a deeper meaning when used between officials

and businessmen.

Roy grunted, “I heard that the top man in River City is being transferred to the capital for a new

position. Recently, quite a few people from River City have been asking to meet with Mr. Hinton,

claiming they want to catch up.”

Roy’s words suddenly reminded me, I had indeed forgotten, the Hinton family’s investments over the

years, both nationally and internationally, were considered top-notch. The financial situation of the

Hinton Group was substantial enough to influence the annual CDP of the entire River City. Walter’s

position in River City was of great significance.

The top position at River City had shifted, and naturally, everyone else in other positions had to move

as well. Jacob arranged a meeting with Walter, the purpose of which was self-evident.

No wonder Jacob was so wary of Walter just now, unable to do anything to me. It turns out he had

ulterior motives.

Taking a slight breath, I stared blankly out the car window, feeling an indescribable sensation about

Walter’s recent action. Was he protecting me, or was he protecting his own reputation?

My mother and Alexander were still in Dracview, I felt so empty when I returned home that I had Roy

take me to Rachel’s apartment.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw the light was on in the living room, but there was no one

there. I could only hear a voice coming from the bedroom, sounding like someone was on the phone. I

changed my shoes and prepared to go to the bedroom to greet Rachel.

The bedroom door was left open, and Rachel was sitting cross-legged on the small balcony, making a

phone call. It was unclear who she was talking to, but her voice was soft as she said to the other end,

“I’m fine, just didn’t sleep well last night. It’s been so long, but I guess there’s still some shadow.

However, talking to you makes me feel much better. Thank you.”

I walked over and sat down by the bed, wondering if she was in love. Seeing her suddenly turn her

head and look at me, her eyes widened in surprise and she exclaimed, “When did you come in? How

come I didn’t hear you walking?”

Seeing her so nervous, I laughed, “Just arrived, what’s wrong? You look guilty as if you’ve done

something wrong. Who were you calling? Are you in love?”

She shook her head, speaking into the phone, “I have something going on here, thank you for listening

to all my nonsense, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Then, she hastily hung up the phone, looking at me with a face full of shock, her cheeks slightly flushed

from nervousness, “Have…have you had dinner?”

I nodded, “I’ve eaten, how about you? Did you like the dishes I ordered?” I didn’t come back for dinner

that night, so I ordered dishes for her in advance and had them delivered.

She hummed in acknowledgment, knowing what I was about to ask her. But she took the initiative and

asked, “Who did you go to dinner with since you came back so late?”

“Friend,” I began, looking at her, “Did you really fall in love?”
