Michael happened to turn around and see me, immediately smiling as he said, "Ms. Sinclair, what a coincidence!" "Not that much of a coincidence." I paused and gave a polite smile. "You've probably been waiting here for quite a while. I tend to be straightforward. Mr. Crawford, if you have something to say, it's better to just say it." Michael smiled and said, "Alright, I have indeed been waiting here. I just wanted to ask if you've thought more about the collaboration. Also, it's already noon—have you had lunch yet, Ms. Sinclair? How about we find a restaurant and talk over a meal?" "Thank you for the offer, Mr. Crawford, but I don't think that's necessary." I declined directly. After all, I wasn't very familiar with Michael, and his recent attentiveness was making me feel uneasy. Michael showed no intention of giving up. "Ms. Sinclair, don't be so quick to refuse. Don't worry, I just want to treat you to a meal. Since we're asking for Starplay Entertainment's help, let's at least become friends. How does that sound?" I looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's talk over lunch." Michael smiled at that and opened the car's back door, inviting me in. Twenty minutes after getting in the car, Michael brought me to a well-known Ivernian restaurant in Rivemon. I followed Michael through the entrance. The server nodded at him and led us to a relatively quiet seat by the window. Michael gestured for the server to hand me the menu. "Ms. Sinclair, take a look and see what you'd like to eat." I reached out and took the menu, casually saying to Michael, "Mr. Crawford, you seem quite prepared. As soon as we arrived, you already had a table booked." Michael smiled lightly and said, "Doing business requires sincerity, after all. And didn't you agree to have lunch with me today? Do you find anything unsatisfactory about the terms I proposed?" His forthrightness did surprise me a bit. As for the conditions he proposed, they were indeed quite generous. But why did I feel like there's something fishy about this? But since he was already asking directly, I had no reason to avoid the topic. So I said, "I've considered the terms you mentioned, Mr. Crawford. They would indeed bring significant influence to Starplay Entertainment. But I'd like to ask—why do you trust me so much? You clearly know that your sister and I—" I didn't finish the sentence, but I believed this apparent heir would understand what I meant. Michael was briefly stunned, then a trace of apology appeared on his face. "Ms. Sinclair, I know my sister has done many wrong things in the past, and she's hurt both you and Mr. Holbrook. But my decision to discuss this business deal with you has nothing to do with her. Although Starplay Entertainment is a relatively new company, it's undeniable that your team is full of top talent. Starplay has produced about half of the popular and highly discussed dramas and films in recent years. Why wouldn't I choose your company?" I nodded slightly. Michael's reasoning was indeed sound, and what he said wasn't wrong. Although I didn't get along with Wendy, there was no need to hold it against her brother—we're all just doing business ... "Since you've said that, wouldn't it be rude of me not to agree?" I thought for a moment and said. Michael smiled when he heard this. "Then, Ms. Sinclair, I'm looking forward to a pleasant cooperation." Queenie's POV: I didn't expect to see Rosaline on a date with the heir of Wild Pack here. I was out shopping with friends, and as I walked nearby, I saw Rosaline and Michael enter a restaurant, chatting and laughing. They looked way too close. Rosaline, you still dare to say you're sincere toward Caden? You won't stop until you hit a wall, huh? This time, I've got proof! Without hesitation, I took out my phone and snapped a photo of Rosaline dining with Michael, then sent it straight to Caden. Rosaline's POV: After having lunch with Michael, I went back to the office and worked until 6 p.m. When I got home, I saw Caden sitting on the couch with a dark expression. I looked at him, confused. "What's wrong? Why are you upset again?" Caden looked up at me and asked coldly, "Why did you go to a restaurant with Michael from Wild Pack today?" I froze. I didn't think it was a big deal, but how did he know? I casually hung my coat on the rack by the entrance and said, "I went to Ryan's place to see Yura today. On my way out, I ran into Mr. Crawford. He wanted to talk business, so we had a meal while discussing it. How did you know about this?" "Don't worry about how I found out. From now on, you're not allowed to casually meet with other men, understood? I get really jealous."
