The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 133

"Please elaborate," Felix said. He believed that although he had only exuded his demeanor a bit last night, given the elder's strength, the elder must have been frightened. The grudge with Dora would naturally dissipate as well. "Sure, but you need to treat me to a meal."

A while of silence later, Dora still didn't want to elaborate further. So, before ending the call, Felix said, "It doesn't matter to me."

Felix left and arrived at Xena's house around 10:00 am. He had contacted her previously.

"Let's go up."

After opening the door, Xena remained expressionless. At least, she was someone who kept to her word. She didn't stop Felix from visiting Curtis. For some reason, she followed him upstairs.

Felix began to check on Curtis. Then, he let out a sigh of relief. The Phantom Poison didn't continue to spread. If so, once he got the last few herbs, he could start saving Curtis. Besides that, he could make sure that the latter could live for a while longer. When Felix was about to leave, Belle suddenly showed up. At first, she was full of smiles, but when she saw him, her expression turned cold. She despised his guts.

"Milady, do you really allow Felix to visit Mr. Summers Senior at any time he wants?"

Xena nodded. "I've already made a promise. How can I go back on my word? I don't care about what he wants to do."

Belle was unhappy, but she knew she couldn't change Xena's mind. So, she smiled and said, "Joshua informed me just now that the general manager of Stellar Group has arrived. He wants to have dinner with you tonight." Had the general manager finally decided to show himself?

"Sure."

Even though only the chairman of Stellar Group had the qualifications to have a meal with Xena, considering all aspects, she needed to contribute to her hometown after all. Thus, she had to meet up with the general manager.

"Milady, Joshua is excellent. He's so young, yet he's already the vice president of Stellar Group. I can't imagine how bright his future is.

Xenia glanced at Belle strangely. "What's the matter? Are you interested in him?"

Belle quickly waved her hands. "No, I was just saying. How can I be worthy of such an excellent man? He should be with you instead.

Xena didn't realize that there was another meaning to Belle's words. She smiled and said, " But it's time for you to consider marriage now. If there's a suitable man, please tell me. I'll support you."

Belle felt helpless. She couldn't push it too far. Otherwise, Xena would realize that something wasn't right. Based on the latter's reaction, it was clear that Joshua wasn't worthy of her attention at the moment. If he wanted to pursue her, he still had a long way to go.

At sunset, Felix went to a private room in a luxury restaurant in Avesburgh. In the private room, only Jack was there.

"Did Trina not come with you?"

Jack seemed very happy. "No, she'll start working tomorrow. She said she needed to prepare herself. She didn't expect to receive news so soon and actually got into the office of Stellar Group in Avesburgh."

Naturally, Felix had expected it to happen. After all, he had contacted so many people. If he couldn't even do such a minor matter successfully, how could he partner up with Warren's company?

"Who are you inviting this time?"

"Do you remember James Lynch?"

After thinking for a while, Jack finally remembered who James was.

"Him? I think it'll be a success. After all, we didn't have any grudges with James when we

were in school."
