Chapter 245 "That girl was an orphan! No one would go through so much trouble for her! You taking her place was a foolproof plan! Of course, I wasn't scared!

"I was looking over the marketing department's proposals. I lost track of time." As he spoke, James stood up and put on his suit jacket.

"I've booked a table at your favorite restaurant."
James explained, "You've recently taken over the Russell family m business, 89 ('m introducing you you to skey people in the industry to help you avoid spitfalls."
