“Don’t forget, invite some well-connected people over, Kay. I’m afraid I can only count on you for this. Sure, I could call up more people in the past, but now I don’t have those contacts!” Kay Lee cajoled.
“Alright, alright, I’m scared of you now. I’ll try my best, but whether they’ll come is not a guarantee,” Sarah Wood responded helplessly.
“Hehe, you’re the best, thanks Sarah.” Kay Lee sent a flying kiss to Sarah Wood over the phone before hanging up.
At 2 p.m. the next day, Finn Lewis finally got out of bed. He was exhausted from running around all night, having made several trips across two different timelines. In the middle of the night, he had Jay Sommer rent several large seafood safes and moved them into the Moon of West Lake’s warehouse.
Fortunately, the Moon of West Lake was spacious enough to not only purchase their own building, but also several floors of the surrounding buildings. This move cost Finn Lewis 1.7 billion. Luckily, he had asked Hannah Lincoln to make these purchases beforehand because producing such a large setup on short notice wouldn’t have been possible.
One of the buildings at the back of the Moon of West Lake, a former 12-story commercial building, had its ground floor temporarily converted into a warehouse.
Hannah Lincoln, who oversaw all these changes, was completely numb. She couldn’t believe how her workspace, which she had meticulously decorated, transformed overnight. Not only that, but her store was now more extravagant than if it were made entirely of gold!
The Moon of West Lake, previously a pastry and tea house, had metamorphosized into something undefinable. A “buffet” might be the best way to describe it, although she was not sure how accurately that term applied. Hannah Lincoln was at a loss for words. She wondered if the guests who were due to arrive that evening would be driven to madness when told about this
“buffet”.
After seeing what was inside the cold storage, Hannah Lincoln could only think that her boss was… astonishingly impressive.
Having just woke up, Finn was rinsing his mouth while glancing at his phone; he had missed dozens of calls. Finn first called back Matthew Chan, who almost cried upon hearing Finn’s voice. He meekly asked, “Mr. Lewis, there won’t be any issues with tonight’s banquet, right?”
As the president of his bank, Matthew Chan was able to invite the wealthy residents of Celeston City without any problems. He understood Finn’s intentions. However, not being able to contact Finn all day made him anxious. He had managed to arrange for their attendance, but if anything went wrong, he wouldn’t be able to handle the social impact given their statuses.
“Don’t worry, Bank President Chan, there will be no issues with the banquet. I have been bustling around all night, and just woke up from sleep,” Finn chuckled.
Matthew Chan was speechless. How could Finn sleep so soundly in such a big event? Moreover, he had slept for so long. He should know that Matthew Chan had hardly slept due to worrying about him, yet Finn was showing no stress at all.
“Then, I’ll have to trouble you, Bank President Chan,” Finn said with a smile. “No trouble. as long as there are no problems.” Matthew Chan shook his head
and wanted to say something, but eventually, he didn’t make any utterance. After all, it wasn’t such a big deal.
After hanging up with Matthew Chan, Finn called the prince and was promptly told that all 56 people in the prince’s group would attend.
After inviting everyone, Finn went to see Kay Lee. The Moon of West Lake’s first floor was spacious enough, especially following the purchase and expansion incorporating the two neighboring stores. It now hosted a large hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. The upper floors housed numerous private rooms, none particularly large, with most designed for groups of a dozen or so people.
This was the largest they could go, the other rooms were smaller, suitable only for five or six people, and some even fewer.
“I’m taking you to a banquet tonight, and I’ll tell you, there will be people of high status there. Don’t embarrass me,” Handsome Lucas said, massaging his throbbing head and taking a deep breath.
Ignoring her ongoing duties, Cora Franklin looked up, gave him a flirtatious glance, and then bent down in a provocative move that made Handsome Lucas gasp and speed up his actions.
Time ticked by and Kay Lee became increasingly nervous. She couldn’t help but turn to Finn Lewis and say, “Finn, what if… what if we cancel it?”
Sarah Wood on the side was somewhat amused. She reached out to ruffle Kay Lee’s hair and said, “What are you talking about? Do you have any idea who he’s invited? Without any exaggeration, the top hundred tycoons in Celeston City are here. One could even say that at least half of the top hundred tycoons in all of the Flame Nation are here, too. Do you think they will be easy to please?”
“Can… can… we use your name instead?” Kay Lee pleaded. When Finn initially told Kay Lee that she would have the final say on who could come to the store in the future, she did not object. She never considered the kind of people Finn could invite. In Kay’s mind, the guests that Finn could attract would be young people or those around their age.
Following her rule would be simple enough, she would just let everyone in. But knowing the identity of those who were on the guest list, Kay was terrified, genuinely terrified. Anyone on this list had as much, if not more, capital than Bryski Miller who had troubled her in the past.
Even if some might not have as much backstory as Bryski, at this level the difference was negligible. Finn invited over one hundred people in total for this event. If she offended a few, she wouldn’t be able to handle it, even though this is unlikely, as they are here to show respect to Finn.
“Relax, I’m here with you, nothing to worry about,” Finn smiled and stroked Kay Lee’s face, completely disregarding Sarah Wood’s gaze. “Trust me, after tonight, you will no longer face the issues of the past,” Finn spoke calmly.
After hearing Finn’s words, Sarah Wood sighed quietly. Finn was not wrong; if he managed to please the guests tonight and have them join the Moon of West Lake membership through Kay Lee, then the issues she faced earlier would be nothing in comparison..
