Oliver Knox finished his introduction and then asked Nicholas Sutton,
"Nicholas, I remember you went on a blind date recently. Didn't work out, huh?"
Nicholas let out a sudden laugh,
"Last time was my mom's arrangement. I just went through the motions. It's a big life decision; you have to be satisfied with it yourself. Can't just settle."
After speaking, he inadvertently glanced over at Clara Knox, feeling secretly pleased, inexplicably sensing something good was about to happen.
Oliver raised his eyebrows and said,
"Better that it didn't work out. If you weren't single, I'd be worried about handing this over to you. My sister's company in the Capital City has some internal management issues; I need someone I trust to go over. I'm not comfortable with anyone else. Do you want to go?"
Nicholas looked awkward for a few seconds, ahem!
He had thought this big shot was looking for a brother-in-law, but evidently not.
