"Mister, aren't you going home?" Nicholas, who was still in Edward's office, asked. "Don't forget, you have a dinner party with Mr. Alexander tonight."

Nicholas laughed again. "You should be happy, Mister. Who knows, you might find a potential wife there. Remember, the CEO succession is getting closer.
