Jack glanced briefly at Harvey. Harvey gave a small signal with a raised index finger, telling him to offer a plausible but deliberately vague excuse.“I’m sorry, Mr. Andy. Mr. H was suddenly called into an urgent strategic matter at headquarters that he simply couldn’t leave. He asked that Mr. Kane please remain patient at the reserved table. He will make time to come as soon as possible.”“Oh… I see. All right, Mr. Jack. We’ll wait until he arrives,” Andy replied, sounding a little relieved even though anxiety still gripped him tightly.“One more thing, Mr. Andy. Given how extraordinarily busy Mr. H is today, we will not be accepting any further calls or interruptions during the wait. Please make sure Mr. Kane stays put and maintains proper etiquette. Enjoy your evening.”Jack ended the call unilaterally without giving Andy a chance to ask anything else. He set the phone back on the table and looked at Harvey with quiet respect.“All instructions have been carried out perfectly, sir

“Of course I’m sure, Harvey! Don’t make me repeat myself!” Kane roared at Harvey, his voice booming through the private dining room. The veins in his neck stood out as he fought to contain a fury that had already reached a boiling point. He fixed Harvey with a sharp glare and pointed straight at the exit, the gesture an unmistakable order to leave. “This place is for the real players of the business world, not some useless parasite looking for cheap attention. Get up from that chair right now, or I’ll drag you out myself in the most humiliating way possible.” Harvey didn’t rise to the threat. He simply let out a quiet breath, the way a man might indulge a child throwing a public tantrum. With calm, deliberate grace he stood, smoothed the front of his jacket, straightened his already impeccable posture, and looked from Kane to Judy with cool detachment. “Very well,” he said, his voice flat and edged with something darker. “If that’s what you both want.” He walked past Kane wi

Harvey showed not the slightest hint of fear in the face of Kane’s open threat. Instead, the corner of his mouth lifted into a thin, dismissive smile.Instead of backing down or showing the old fear he once carried, Harvey stood tall and looked straight into Kane’s eyes with a cold stare that made the ambitious man feel a quiet chill run through him.“Throw me out?” Harvey said calmly, his tone as casual as if he were commenting on a cloudy morning.“I’ve heard this is one of the most exclusive restaurants in the city. But the way you’re acting, Kane… it almost sounds like you own the place and have the right to kick out anyone who walks through the door.” Harvey’s words landed with quiet precision.The subtle jab hit Kane exactly where it hurt. The red flush of anger on his face drained into something pale, mixed with embarrassment and irritation. He knew full well he didn’t own the restaurant. He was only a guest who had rented a VVIP table to inflate his own image in front of Mr. H

The long awaited meeting day for Judy and Kane had finally arrived. In his spacious, quiet office, Harvey sat in front of his computer screen, fingers moving skillfully over the keys as he finished several important documents.Jack, Harvey’s always reliable personal secretary, stepped inside carrying a digital tablet. He stood straight beside Harvey’s desk, straightened his suit jacket, and delivered the day’s key schedule to his boss.“Sir, I just wanted to remind you that your meeting with Mr. Kane Roman is scheduled for this afternoon. Everything at the location has been arranged exactly according to the instructions you gave me yesterday.”Harvey stopped typing, leaned back in his chair, and smiled with quiet meaning. It wasn’t a friendly smile it was a cold, calculated one that suggested a much larger plan was already in motion.Harvey had no intention of meeting Kane as the powerful, highly regarded Mr. H. Instead, he planned to be there in person to watch, with his own eyes, ho
Chapter 21
At the Smith residence, Judy sat before her vanity table. Several wedding catalogs lay open across her bed, while her phone screen glowed with saved photos of various wedding gowns.Her wedding to Kane was drawing closer, and she wanted everything to look flawless, from the dress and the venue down to the guest list. She had even skipped going to the office today because she had a scheduled consultation with a wedding planner.Yet, her mind kept drifting back to one loose end Kane had yet to tie up.A meeting with Mr. H.Ever since news broke of the mysterious tycoon's return, Judy hadn't stopped talking about it. She loved picturing how incredible it would be if Kane managed to forge a connection with someone holding as much clout as Mr. H.Not only would it elevate Kane's standing, but it would also make her proudest to walk by his side as his wife.Her phone chimed. Judy snatched it up immediately. "Hello, Honey?""I've got great news." Kane announced, his voice bubbling with excit

Harvey let out a soft chuckle. He felt as though he were watching a circus act. "He moves fast.""It seems Kane is fiercely determined to get your attention. From what I've gathered, he's already tried contacting just about everyone with any sort of backdoor access to Mr. H's inner circle. But nobody's given him a straight answer."Jack slid the tablet closer to Harvey. "His company's request even got bottlenecked because our team hadn't responded yet."Harvey glanced at the tablet screen for a second. It displayed Kane's corporate letterhead alongside the official meeting request form. He asked casually, "So now he thinks he can get whatever he wants just by firing off a letter?""Apparently so."Harvey leaned back again. He had zero reason to pave the road for someone like Kane. Especially not after the man had repeatedly talked down to him without having the slightest clue who he was actually dealing with."What do you think, Jack?"Jack understood that his boss wasn't looking for
