As soon as he entered the house and saw that his wife Mia's shoes were already at the door, he knew that she had already come back.
So he went straight to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw that his wife Mia had just hung up the phone, with a look of surprise and excitement on her face. He asked curiously, "Honey, who were you talking to on the phone just now?" Mia said excitedly, "It was my best friend Caroline! Do you remember her?" Alan nodded and said, "Yes, I do. She used to study at a university in Pras City and had a close relationship with you. Is she the daughter of a big family in Neon City?" Mia said, "That's right. Caroline's family is quite powerful in Neon City." Alan smiled and asked, "Is she coming to Pras City to see you?" Mia said, "She's not just coming to see me. She's coming to work in Pras City!" Alan asked in confusion, "As the daughter of a big family in Neon City, why doesn't she manage her own family business and instead comes to work in Pras City?" Mia said, "I'm not really sure. She said she's going to work for the Delaney Group. But I have no idea why she came all the way here to Delaney."Alan nodded. Although the Mellon family couldn't compare with the Smith family, it still had some influence in Neon City.
Caroline had no need at all to give up her family's business and come to work at his Delaney Group. Could it be that this woman had some special purpose for coming to the Delaney Group? Alan was puzzled, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment. It seems that we can only wait until Caroline joins the Delaney Group, and then ask Vivian to thoroughly investigate her background. At this moment, Mia seemed to have thought of something. She slapped her forehead and said, "By the way, Alan, I've made an appointment for a meeting with the people from the Delaney Group tomorrow and I won't be able to get away. Can you go to the airport to pick up Caroline for me and arrange a place to give her a welcome dinner by the way?" Alan agreed, "I'll make arrangements in advance tomorrow." Mia added, "Oh, and find a nice place. Don't be stingy with money. Take my bank card." As she spoke, she was about to hand him her wallet. Alan quickly said, "No need. I have an acquaintance who owns a pretty good restaurant. I can handle the arrangements." With that, Alan immediately took out his phone and was about to send a text message to Claude at the Ritz-Carlton, asking him to arrange a banquet for him. But upon careful consideration, he thought that the Ritz-Carlton was supposed to be a surprise for his wife. It would be better to choose another place to entertain Caroline. So he sent a text message to Mogos instead.I want to host a banquet to entertain my friends. Please arrange a high-class hotel for me, but not the Ritz-Carlton.
Soon, Mogos replied with a text message: Mr. Alan, don't worry. I own a Western restaurant called Arc de Triomphe. It's a top restaurant in Pras City that's as famous as the Ritz-Carlton. Tomorrow, I will definitely arrange the best Diamond Hall and the best banquet for you. I will be waiting for your arrival. Alan only replied with one word: Hmm. The next day, Mia spent the whole day at the Delaney Group, busy dealing with matters related to the cooperation. Alan called Vivian, the vice chairperson of the Delaney Group, to ask her about Caroline's upcoming employment. Vivian was surprised that Alan knew about this. Vivian said that Caroline had applied for the position of administrative director, a middle-level management position. The group thought her resume was good and decided to hire her. She was scheduled to start working in a few days. So Alan told her to keep an eye on this woman after Caroline joined the company. If there was any movement, she should report it to him immediately. After arranging things with Vivian, in the afternoon, Alan went out and took a taxi to the airport, ready to pick up Mia's best friend, Caroline. When he arrived at the airport by taxi and was about to go to the arrival hall, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class suddenly came to a screeching halt and stopped horizontally in front of him. Mia's cousin, Carlson, suddenly stuck his head out of the car window and frowned at Alan in confusion. He asked: Alan, what are you doing here?I'm here to pick up one of Mia's best friends. What are you guys doing here?
Alan frowned and realized that the people in this Mercedes-Benz G-Class were all acquaintances. Besides Carlson, there were also Saul and Tasha. Carlson said contemptuously, "You're talking about Miss Caroline, right? We'll take care of Miss Caroline. We don't need you. Scram!" Alan gave a cold snort and said, "If you want to scram, do it yourself." After saying that, Alan ignored them and directly walked into the arrival hall. Carlson was so angry that he was about to swear, but Tasha beside him quickly reminded him. Brother, Miss Caroline will be here soon. Grandma has reminded you to leave a good impression on Miss Caroline! If you can make her your sister-in-law, your status in our family will be unparalleled. Don't bother with this good-for-nothing for now. Carlson was suddenly jolted awake and almost forgot the main purpose of coming here today. In fact, giving a welcome reception to Caroline is secondary. Leaving a good impression on her and then getting her is the most important thing. The Mellon family has extraordinary strength in Neon City. If he can get together with her. Then he will rise rapidly, and the Mill family will become even stronger. So, he suppressed his dissatisfaction with Alan. The people in the car quickly got out and also rushed to the arrival hall. At this moment, in the crowd, there appeared a particularly eye-catching, young and beautiful woman. She had long hair and was wearing a white suit dress, which outlined her exquisite figure. Although she was wearing sunglasses, her skin was as white as porcelain, her lips were like a flame, and her peerless beauty couldn't be hidden at all. Looking at her carefully, her beauty was no less than Mia's. They could be said to have their own unique charm.For a moment, the eyes of the people who came to meet the plane outside the passage all focused on her.
Carlson was completely stunned. Even Saul, who came to watch the excitement, was amazed by her beauty. He couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder she's a lady from Neon City. Her temperament is really extraordinary." At this time, Caroline also saw the crowd and quickly walked over. She waved to them and said, "Carlson, Tasha, and Alan, long time no see!" Carlson felt a rush of excitement in his heart and took the lead to say, "Long time no see, Caroline. You've become even more beautiful." Alan smiled and also said, "Long time no see." Carlson hurriedly said, "Caroline, we knew you were coming. I specially reserved a private room in the best hotel in Pras City. It's to give you a welcome reception. Let's go there now." Caroline glanced at Alan and said to Carlson apologetically, "Carlson, I'm really sorry. I've already made an appointment with Mia and Alan in advance. Let's make another appointment some other time. Anyway, I'm going to stay in Pras City for a long time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." When Carlson heard this, he was furious inside. On such an important day, this despicable wimp, Alan, was causing trouble for him. It was really abominable. So, he deliberately said, "Caroline, to welcome you, I've booked the Arc de Triomphe Western Restaurant, which is the best in Pras City. And it's the Golden Hall with a minimum consumption of 200,000 US dollars!" As he said this, he looked at Alan contemptuously and smiled. I wonder which restaurant Alan has booked? If the place is too low-class, won't it be disrespectful to Caroline!"Latest Chapter

Luckily, he had run into Juliet again at just the right time.

I’ll wait for you in Neon City!After Alan hung up the call, Caroline beside him couldn’t help but smile and tease, You’re really something now, Alan. No wonder everyone calls you Master Alan.

She couldn’t help walking over to Alan, snuggling gently into his arms. Gazing up at the twinkling stars scattered across the sky, she said with a look of pure happiness, After the New Year, it’ll be our fourth year of marriage.Yeah. Alan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Four years already. Time really flies.Does it feel fast? Mia said earnestly. To me, time hasn’t passed quickly at all. So many things have happened in these four years, and you’ve changed more than anyone.Alan scratched the tip of his nose. Oh? Have I changed?Mia nodded. Of course you have! Your whole demeanor, aura, and bearing are completely different from when we first got married.She murmured softly, It’s strange though. When I think about it, the changes are huge… yet at the same time, it all feels so natural. It’s as if you were always meant to be this way.Alan let out a soft sigh and said to her, By the way, honey. The feng shui consultation trip to Neon City is all set. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.
