“M-Mr. Salvador, | finally managed to secure the order from Fortune Cloud Eatery you requested last night!” “Fortune Cloud Eatery? Gosh... That place is notoriously diffic get a reservation at. It usually takes at least three hours.” Bella swallowed nervously and then turned to Justin with a reproachful look. “Why did you trouble Mr. Harris for this?” “Because you were craving something delicious.” “When did | say that?!” “Last night, in your dreams,” Justin whispered in her ears, chuckling softly.
Bella blushed instantly, her face turning red. “Y-You believe in dream talk?!” “Never mind that. Let's set it on the table with Wilma and eat together.” Justin nodded with a smile.
“Together?!” lan was astonished, feeling honored yet surprised. He shook his head repeatedly. “That's not necessary. | shouldn't dine with you at the stable. It’s not appropriate.” Justin replied, “Like | said, just eat.” lan took a sharp breath inward, but his heart blossomed with joy.

Due to this, Justin was unaware of what happened at the Salvador Corporation.
“No issues have arisen. On the contrary, things have progressed very smoothly.” “Well, isn’t smooth progress a good thing?” Justin frowned. “But your demeanor suggests otherwise. Did something go wrong with the collaboration?” “The person in charge of the collaboration isn’t Chairman Salvador.

Isn't this taking advantage of the situation and assuming responsibilities beyond his own?” “lan, don’t speak like that.” Justin's expression turned serious. “My brother is my lifesaver. Back then, he risked his life to save mine, almost failing to escape from the kidnappers’ hands, and ended up suffering from a serious illness because of it. If it weren't for that incident, | wouldn't even have gotten my current position.”
