Chapter 276: Switching Rooms

The next day, Clara Knox and Nicholas Sutton arranged to meet at a well-known Western restaurant in the Capital City.

Clara knew that accompanying her to Capital City to handle the Knight Industries affairs was a tough task and that Nicholas had come due to his deep friendship with Oliver Knox. She had to fulfill her role as a host and take the opportunity to express her gratitude.

Afraid of traffic, she left an hour early. The ride-hailing car was already parked outside the villa.

Sanitation workers were cleaning, and cigarette butts were scattered under the sycamore tree.

She zoned out for a few seconds before getting in the car.

Clara thought she arrived early enough, only to find that Nicholas had arrived a step before her.

"Nicholas, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Nicholas had put on a formal suit today, his hair slicked back with gel, exuding the aura of a social elite, appearing much more reliable than yesterday.
