The Shameless George

After hanging up, I thought it wise to take precautions. I decided to have Colin Evans join me just in case. Thinking it might be too formal for both of us to show up, I instructed Luna to accompany me instead.

When leaving work, I briefed Colin Evans, who told me to call him if anything came up.

I gave him a sideways glance, "Treating me like a child, huh? It's just dinner. Is it really that big of a deal?"

Luna and I headed downstairs together; she offered to drive, allowing me to rest in the backseat. Surprisingly, she was quite a skilled driver.

We arrived on time at Room 3, where Buck Gorman and three other men were already seated. Buck introduced them: Dale from Eternal Properties' Development Department, Gavin from the Project Department, and a representative from the association—all key figures related to the project.

I was relieved I had brought Luna; otherwise, being the only woman there would have been awkward.
