"This way, please, Vice Manager Hughes. We can discuss the details of the collaboration over our meal in a moment!" Elias Jennings seized on the interruption, trying to quickly change the subject.
"Wait! Sir, has there been some kind of misunderstanding? I didn't come here to see you today! And I don't know anything about a collaboration!" To this point, Hughes was still utterly confused, having no idea what was happening.
Elias Jennings: …
'What in the world is going on? He's not here to see us? The Vice Manager of the Grant Branch came all the way to our residence, only to say he wasn't looking for us? Is there anything more unbelievable than this?'
"Vice Manager Hughes, you have a real sense of humor. As the vice manager of the Grant Resort development project, if you didn't come here to discuss a potential engineering collaboration with us, then why did you come here in person?"
Quinn Jennings still wore an elegant smile, but it looked somewhat forced and stiff.
