His chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable He stood at the entrance for a while. After getting blown by the cold wind, his mind feit much clearer. He took out a cigarette and lit it. “I know. You can tell him that it’s not directed at him.‘
‘I’m rust mad at myself!‘ Eric thought. Keith breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, but you’re not longing for that woman, right? Eric cast a sidelong glance at him and snorted.

Keith’s face reddened with anger. ‘Are you even my bro?!” J8-L Corporation invited many soclalites,
businessmen, and politicians for their anniversary Everyone who attended the banquet was an elite. Nicole had done her research. J&L Corporation was a relatively new
