Straying From the Actual Path

"Good evening, Second Young Master Xu and Second Young Madam Xu."

Stepping further inside, Mr. Wei politely greeted Calix and Leslie. His demeanor was calm in the midst of the strained atmosphere of the private dining room. 

"Thank you for making your way here tonight, Mr. Wei," Calix returned the greeting. Standing on his feet, he gestured to the vacant seat next to him, "Come and sit here, Mr. Wei."

"It's my honor to offer you my assistance, Second Young Master Xu."

Mr. Wei steadily approached Calix. Old Madam Li, Rowan and Geoffrey's eyes followed the middle-aged man's movements. Deena, Gladys and Irene also did the same.

Snapping out of her shock, Old Madam Li barked, "Charlene, Calix, what are you two scheming?"

"Y-yes, Charlene, Calix... What do you mean by... cutting off ties with us?"
