Seated at an exclusively reserved table at the Primal Black luxury restaurant, Kendrick glanced at his golden wristwatch for the fifth time, his heart pounding with anticipation.
It was already ten minutes past the agreed meeting time and there was no sign of Nathaniel and Ivy.
Neither of them has called to cancel the meeting, which only meant they were still interested in his business proposition.
A uniformed waiter approached Kendrick with a polite smile.
"Sir, are you ready to order now?"
"Not yet. I will...hold that thought." Kendrick's eyes lit up at the sight of Nathaniel and Miles approaching. He stood up, a polite smile etched across his face as he waited breathlessly for Ivy to also walk through the entrance door.
Sadly, there was no sign of her.
"Mr Jomari...so glad you could make it." Kendrick extended his right hand forward.
"Thank you, Mr Silva." Nathaniel shook his hand firmly. "I apologize for my lateness. Something urgent came up that needed my attention."
