Chapter 1454 Relationship Goals
Someone knocked on the door a few more times.
Nicole opened the door to see Wilbur standing outside.
“Sorry to bother you,” said Wilbur.
Davin stared at him, somewhat taken aback. I can’t believe Evan was right! He actually followed me!
Suddenly, Evan’s deep voice rang out. “Come on in then!”
Wilbur entered the room. Leaning slightly toward Evan, who was still in disguise, he said, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be Mr. Evan Seet.”
“How did you know?” Davin asked curiously.
Wilbur flashed him a smile. “Why, he told me himself!”
Davin was puzzled. “He told you? Evan, when did you tell him that?”
“How did you tell it was me?” asked Evan.
Wilbur explained, “From the way you poured the wine and your striking aura when speaking. More importantly, of course, was the fact that there’s no way Neon Hotel would hire a waiter like you.”
“So, you were certain that he was my brother based on those few points?” Davin pressed.
“No. I merely suspected that something was amiss. It was thanks to you that I managed to guess that it was him,” Wilbur said to Davin.
The latter’s eyes widened as he protested, “Me? I didn’t say anything!”
“Well, you left in a hurry after getting Mr. Seet’s call. Logically, you would be rushing to leave the hotel to meet him. However, you came into this private room instead. That’s why I made the bold assumption that the waiter was Mr. Seet,” Wilbur answered.
Pausing briefly, he then continued, “Furthermore, I noticed something when giving Mrs. Seet my business card. She inadvertently revealed her wrist, and I saw that the skin tone of her wrist didn’t match her face at all. That’s what tipped me off that something was up as soon as I entered the hotel. After observing for a while, I soon realized that Mr. Seet was testing me.”
Hearing that, Nicole glanced at her wrist. She remembered how Wilbur had deliberately stood slightly further away when handing her his business card. I can’t believe he did that so that I would reach out my hand and give him the opportunity to observe my wrist. That’s so scrupulous of him!
“Wilbur, you’re clever indeed!”
“Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Seet. I hope you’re satisfied with my methods.”
“Excellent! You may date Maya, but I have to warn you. If I ever find out that you’re bullying my daughter, you won’t be the only one who’ll suffer the consequences!” Evan said gravely with a stern expression. Wilbur quickly understood the meaning behind those words.
“I can tell that you love your daughter very much, Mr. Seet. Don’t worry. I’ll treat her well. However, she still views me as just a business partner. I’m afraid it might be a little difficult to get closer to her…”
Seeing the hesitant look on Wilbur’s face, Davin let out a chuckle. “What’s holding you back? Are you afraid you won’t succeed? Is that why you’ve come to seek advice from your future father-in-law? Have you also heard tell of how he dotes on his wife?”
“Mr. and Mrs. Seet are the perfect couple. They have such a harmonious relationship, and they truly embody relationship goals.”
Davin laughed and turned to Evan. “Since he thinks of you as the embodiment of relationship goals, don’t you think you should teach him a trick or two on how to dote on a lady?”
“Do it with genuine sincerity. You’re an intelligent man, so I trust I don’t have to say much. If Maya truly likes you, then all I ask is that you treat her well. She’s a good lady…”
Wilbur nodded. “I understand. I feel a special connection toward Maya, and I want us to get to know each other better. If we find that we’re a good match and end up together, I’ll be sure to treat her well and treasure her.”
Nicole breathed a silent sigh of relief when she heard that. I do hope that their relationship will be a sweet and happy one.
When Nicole and Evan finally stepped out of the hotel, they had already stripped off their disguise. Wilbur walked them to the parking lot.
“We haven’t finalized the Northern City Development Project yet. As for whether we’ll get to work together, that’ll depend on the Simpson Group’s capabilities,” said Evan.
“It’s important to look at their capabilities, but it’s even more important to take into consideration their relationship with us. Now that Wilbur and Maya have such a good thing going on, how can you even think of not allowing the Simpson Group…” Davin broke off as soon as he saw Evan shoot him a piercing glare.
Biting back the words on the tip of his tongue, Davin changed tack immediately. “The Simpson Group is a very capable company. I trust that they have what it takes. Wilbur, you’ll have to give it your all!”
