He knew that the most upset person should not be him but Cate.
Nobody would want to be married to Wesley, that b* stard.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to greet Elder Snow.” Shaun pulled her into his arms and left.
Mireya darted a glance at Rodney, who was beside her, and suddenly gave him a thumbs up. “You did a pretty good job just now.”
“Ahem. ” Rodney was on cloud nine. “Of course. I have quite a lot of strengths.”
“Yeah. Hardly any man’s mouth can compare to yours. When you used to criticize Cate and me, I really wished I could throw you into the toilet bowl. But when I saw you lashing out at the person I hate, I was quite pleased, to say the least. ” Now that Mireya looked at Rodney, he was much less of an eyesore.
Rodney was at a loss for words. Was she praising him or condemning him?
After Cate accompanied Shaun to entertain the guests, the hotel staff took the two of them to the highest floor of the hotel.
Tonight’s banquet was held on two floors.
The guests on the first floor could dance and chat. However, not anyone could step onto the second floor.
Of course, everyone knew full well that Nathan, the prime minister, was on the second floor.
When Cate and Shaun arrived at the door to the lounge, a secretary shot Cate a troubled look. “The prime minister has something to discuss with Young Master Lyons…”
“I’ll wait outside then.”
Cate instantly understood that there were some confidential and important matters between Nathan and Shaun. It was only normal that Nathan did not want her to learn about it.
“Don’t go down. Wait for me here. ” Worried that she would bump into Wesley, Shaun reminded her before he entered the lounge.
With that, Cate wandered along the corridor, enjoying the night view of the city.
This hotel had over 1oo floors. When she gazed out of the French window, she could see the illuminations of the whole city, whose beauty was otherworldly. However, Cate did not move closer to the window due to her fear of heights.
After wandering around for a while, there was a spacious balcony in front of her. A sturdy figure dressed in white was seated on the couch, looking down at the chess pieces on the table and contemplating the game.
It was him…
Cate was taken aback. She did not expect Titus’s presence here.
However, as Matthew had hinted to her before, she knew the Costner family’s background was unusual.
After hesitating for two seconds, she turned around to walk away.
Titus’s throaty voice then sounded behind her. ” Seeing me and leaving without a greeting? Don’ t you have basic manners, Miss Cox?”
Cate rubbed her forehead. She turned around and replied, “I’m afraid you’ll suspect that I’m approaching you with a purpose, Mr. Costner.”
“As far as I know, you’ve just helped Lyons Corporation overcome an obstacle with your skillful performance. I’m aware of your intention. At this point, you won’t be bothered to ask me for anything. ” Titus picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip of red wine.
Cate smiled openly. “Mr. Costner, since you can’t see the value in Lyons Corporation, I don’t think I can get you to help it in any way. That’s why I don’t wish to approach you, only for you to find me annoying. Of course, it’ll be good if I can solve it myself. After all, no one likes to beg people.”
“Do you think Lyons Corporation has weathered the storm?” Titus asked tauntingly.
Cate was startled. “You seem to know something, Mr. Costner.”
Titus kept quiet.
Cate laughed and said, “Look how silly I am. Considering that you could come to this floor and play chess, your identity must be far different from mine. You should be at least as powerful as the prime minister.”
“You don’t have to probe me.” Titus turned his head around and glanced at the woman in a dress. Her astuteness and intelligence reminded him of the scene when he first met Sheryl back then. ” Come and take a seat. Have a look at this game with me.”
Cate walked up to him nonchalantly. She was quite familiar with chess.
However, Titus seemed to have come to a dead position in the game.
“I was playing chess with someone just now. Please think of a way out for me. I’m going to lose.”
Titus’s azure eyes expressed a sense of helplessness. ” I’m not good at this type of chess. “
” If I help you, I should be rewarded in some way, ” Cate replied with a grin.
Titus threw her a look. “You really do know how to push your luck, huh?”
“Given your unusual identity, I’m asking for a reward so that I can take advantage of you. I definitely won’t want to miss this opportunity.” Cate said with a smile, “Besides, I believe the person who is playing this game with you has an outstanding identity too. He’s Prime Minister Snow, right?”
Titus chuckled. Many people wanted to take advantage of him.
Even Sheryl’s daughter, Rosabella, wanted to take advantage of him. Nevertheless, none of them was as frank as Cate, and frank and clever people would never annoy him.
” If I help you to defeat the prime minister in this game without being rewarded, I don’t think that’s fair.” Cate raised her brows.
“Fine. If you manage to win this game for me, I’ll help you save one person when you encounter a problem next time. But it’s only limited to one person,” Titus said after some thought. “Alright.”
Cate nodded before she spontaneously bent over and moved one of the pawns in front of him.
After fixing his eyes on it for a while, Titus burst out laughing. “Amazing. This is amazing. Why didn’t I think of it?”
“It’s not because you didn’t think of it. You’re just not familiar with this type of chess,” Cate answered with a smile.
“Fine. Everyone has their own strengths, and chess is my weakness. I’m not shy to admit it.”
Titus waved his hand in a light-hearted manner.
A trace of admiration shone in Cate’s eyes. “Mr. Costner, I think my boyfriend is done, so I have to go now, lest he comes over and disturbs you.”
Titus asked playfully, “How sure are you that he’ll disturb me when he comes over?”
“I don’t know. But considering your status, I don’t think you’ll want to meet any random person. Of course, if Shaun performs well, he’ll be able to get acquainted with a powerhouse like you. But if the contrary happens, you’ll see us as having scheming minds. ” Cate expressed her worries candidly.
“You’re right.” Titus nodded, his eyes flashing with praise. “But don’t you need any proof of the promise I made just now?”
“Given your status, I don’t think it’s warranted, Mr. Costner. What’s more, if you really plan to go back on your word, there’s nothing I can do about it. Even writing a note as proof will be useless.” Cate glanced at the time. “Goodbye, Mr. Costner.”
Soon after she left, someone walked out from a dark corner.
Wesley lowered his head and gazed at the photos in his hand. From these photos, Cate and Titus were seen standing at one side of the chessboard, with one of them standing and the other sitting.
Titus’s lips were smiling with satisfaction.
Resentment filled Wesley’s heart.
He did not expect Cate to run into Titus, who was supposed to hate her. However, he actually had a pleasant chat with her.
No way.
Wesley must not let Titus and Cate get close, or they would ruin his plans.
As for these few photos, he could make good use of them.
Amid his messy thoughts, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Hence, he immediately dashed to the other side.
Nathan soon walked up to Titus and said courteously, “President Costner, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”
“No worries. This game has been solved.” Titus gestured at the chess with his chin.
After catching a glimpse at it, Nathan was stunned. “That’s amazing. I didn’t know you were so knowledgeable about this type of chess, President Costner.”
Titus gave a faint smile but did not reveal that someone taught him. “Actually, I’m here because of the matter with the Zeller family. Anyhow, you’ve achieved what you wanted, and the Zeller family can’t threaten you anymore. So can you help me out, Prime Minister Snow?”
“Okay, Mr. Costner. Since you’ve made this request, I’ll definitely fulfill it. However, this issue is too serious. If I don’t punish two people, I can’t answer to the public, ” Nathan said helplessly.
