"I wanted to discuss something about the project," she said casually,

The first meeting between the parties ended just like that. Sebastien didn't want Ronaldo to take the initiative, even though he sought cooperation."Sebastien," Claire called out to him after the meeting, "Would you join me for dinner?"Sebastien glanced at Charlotte and said, "Let's all go together.""Ronaldo, do you have time to join us for dinner too?" he added.In the end, all five people from the meeting room were seated together at a restaurant. The seating arrangement was quite interesting, with Ronaldo flanked by Charlotte on his left and Claire on his right. Even Nathan noticed the resemblance between the two women.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and Ronaldo, accompanied by his daughter Claire, strode in. Their entrance caused a brief pause among the attendees, who quickly resumed their composure."Ronaldo, it's a pleasure to meet you finally. I'm Sebastian," said Sebastian, rising to greet him. "This is my secretary, Charlotte, and my assistant, Nathan," he added, introducing them with a polite gesture.As Ronaldo entered, his sharp eyes immediately noticed Charlotte.
