"Well now," Mills teased, a twinkle in his eye, "you look as proud as a parent whose kid just aced their exams."

Joshua's face softened. "Well, she is like family."

Mills shrugged casually, "I wonder what those two are laughing about over there."

As soon as he said it, Joshua's warmth faded. Handing his cue to the caddy, he headed towards the group.

"Hey, where are you off to?" Mills asked, tagging along.

Joshua's tone turned cool, lacking any warmth. "Going to talk business."

"Business?" Mills was confused. "With who?"

Taking a quick glance at the tsharing a laugh, Mills caught on fast. Jealousy was rearing its head; Joshua

wasn't about to let those guys keep hanging around Allison.

Someone was clearly reaching their limit.

Mills chuckled, knowing Joshua couldn't hold back any longer.

Joshua stopped in front of Allison, casting a shadow in the sun.

Allison looked up from within that shadow. He was in his signature cool, dark gray athletic wear.

What's he up to now? Allison wondered.

Eric was equally puzzled. Meetings with the CEO of Fisher Corporation were rare, and yet here he was, twice in

one day. Was it a full moon or something?

With his hands relaxed in his pockets, Joshua seemed casual. "Eric, didn't you mention about potential

partnership with our Starlight brand?"

Starlight was a hotel chain under Fisher Corporation.

Eric perked up at the offer and eagerly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Fisher. Infinique Ventures has been eager to collaborate

with Starlight for ages. We talked about it briefly at a gala, but you were busy then. Today seems perfect, doesn't

it?"

Eric glanced at his watch and suggested with a grin, "It's nearly lunchtime. How about | book us a table and we

can chat over a meal?"

Joshua's eyes flicked to Allison briefly before he agreed, his voice chilly, "Alright."

Eric was thrilled.

Sensing the moment, Pierce spoke up, "Mr. Fisher, Eric, you go ahead. Allison and | will head out. Eric, we can go

over the contract details another day."

Allison had been lost in thought, staring at Joshua's shadow. Pierce's words

snapped her back, and she was ready to go with Pierce.

Eric replied, "Sure. I'll meet you

tomorrow afternoon to discuss the contract. Since | lost to Ms. Allison earlier, I'm sticking to my word. | pride

myself on that."

Eric had said this to make a good impression on Joshua, hoping to secure a deal

with Fisher Corporation's hotel brand.

However, Joshua wasn't concerned about any of that. His only worry was that Allison was leaving.

Joshua's voice was smooth, almost casual. "Since you're all here, why don't you join us for lunch?"
