34: The Surprise
"Okay, that's it. I'm tired. He's hiding on purpose. If it weren't for Alec, I won't find that despicable man even if someone bribed me with five gold mines." Archer Williams was exasperated more than anyone could imagine.
That John Anderson was really hard to find. It seemed as if he was playing a game of hide-and-seek with Archer Williams.
The truth was, he was introducing Elian with his business partners just to make them his acquaintances for the future.
"I must say you have a very capable son, Master Anderson. It'd be a pleasure to work with him. I want to invite you and your family to play golf sometimes if you like."
One by one, many of the people he met with, congratulated him on having the CEO's position.
"Everyone, may I have your attention?" He looked at his father with an arch brow. Was the evening finally coming to an end now?

His mother, Mia Anderson confusedly asked. She was trying to understand his words. "Mom, I'm talking about the whole engagement show. What was that?" He was frowning. "It looks like a show to you?" His father, John Anderson looked at him blankly. "Then, what should I call it, dad? I was not even informed of it. You both didn't even ask for my opinion."
