Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 217: She glanced at Lambert and said courteously, "Hello, Mr. Jenkins." "This is so coincidental! Last time you helped me out, and I wasn't able to properly convey my appreciation. I just happen to be in the next room. Tonight's dinner is on me if that's okay. Let's eat dinner together. By the way, Mr. Harman, I have someone important I'd like to introduce you to. A lot of people want to be close to him." Saying that, Lambert grinned. Candice was uneasy the moment he said that to Greyson. Someone important whom many people wanted to be close to?

She couldn't shake the uneasy feeling she had. Would that powerful figure possibly be Milton? Predictably, before Lambert could finish his sentence, Milton entered Room 206! As soon as Greyson saw Milton, his demeanor shifted radically. Candice also sat up straight nervously and swallowed uncomfortably. Fuck! How could such a coincidence happen? Milton had already informed her through WhatsApp about the upcoming dinner party. As it turned out, it was actually in the box next to hers. What were the odds of that?! The embarrassment she felt was beyond words.

Besides, Lambert was an outsider who wasn't privy to the details. For her part, Candice wished Milton would offer a quick greeting and then leave. Otherwise... To her dismay, Milton was nowhere close to doing that! Lambert walked up, pulled out a chair, and said to Milton, "Mr. Lopez, please have a seat." Milton had noticed that someone else was present besides Candice the moment he entered the room-it was Greyson. Jealousy surged deep within him. The meal Candice referred to was with Greyson, right? Since Lambert had drawn out the chair, Milton sat down immediately.

Lambert had no idea what had transpired among the three. He said, "Our meeting here is a stroke of luck. Let me introduce you to this man, Mr. Harman. This is-" Greyson interrupted before he could finish. "No need for introductions. Milton and I went to the same high school. We even shared a dorm!" Greyson sneered. mr ρdaes anovels.cm "Is that so? Very unexpected! But that's better. I'll have the waiter bring the food. Let's have some fun, and I'll be the host." Lambert was oblivious to the tension growing between Greyson and Milton. To him, it was just about having fun.

On the other hand, what Greyson said left Candice stunned. Candice was aware that both Greyson and Milton had attended and graduated from Wilmint High School, and that they had been in the same class. She hadn't expected that they also stayed in the same dormitory. In her hazy recollection, there were just two boys in each dorm for seniors. Back then, when she was confined in the cold storage, she had tried to read the boy's nameplate on his shirt, which had the dorm number 307 on it. She later found out that two students resided in that dorm room.

One was named Greyson, while the other rarely set foot in the school since he was studying overseas. Hence, Greyson was undoubtedly the boy who spent the night in the cold storage with her! . . .
