Chapter 191
Sunny finally understood what was going on.
It seemed Shania was interested in the properties Carlisle had. During their meeting for the transaction at Imperial Hotel, they were interrupted by Yuriel and the others from Evermore Properties. That was why Lethan felt so remorseful.
Since it had nothing to do with him, he continued eating. After all, there was so much delicious food that shouldn’t go to waste.
With that, Sunny sat back down and continued to enjoy his meal.
“Gusto, you too. Lethan gestured toward the door. “Come in and have something to eat.”
Seeing Lethan invite someone else to join them, Sunny hastened his eating.
Gusto then entered and sat beside Lethan to dine.
Carlisle, holding a glass of red wine, smirked ever–so–slightly. “Mr. Warbane, is this your new driver?”
Lethan nodded. “With all the social engagements, it’s more convenient to have my own driver.”
Carlisle’s lips curved in a half–joking manner. “You called him Gusto just now. He wouldn’t happen to be related to Yohann, would he?”
With a clang. Gusto knocked over the glass in front of him.
“Please don’t joke around, Mr. Zahn. I have no connection with the Gust family whatsoever,” he blurted
out, chuckling nervously.
Lethan nodded in agreement. “He was introduced to me by a close friend I’ve known for years. He’s
reliable, for sure.”
After saying this, he lit a cigarette and continued, “When you have time, I’ll introduce you to my buddy. He also enjoys connecting with young people.”
Carlisle only took a sip of his wine. His eyes narrowed as he smiled.
Lethan felt uneasy under Carlisle’s smiling gaze. His heart skipped a bear.
Could something really be wrong with the new driver he hired? But that was impossible! His buddy was like a brother to him, and he was always there to help Lethan through tough times.
Plus, his buddy had conflicts with Yuriel in the past; they couldn’t possibly be colluding!
Then again, Carlisle’s intuition was usually spot–on. It was as if Carlisle had a sixth sense. Should Lethan trust Carlisle’s instincts or the friend he had known for over a decade?
After finishing his drink, Carlisle turned to Sunny and asked, “Are you full yet?”
Sunny burped and patted his round belly, expressing his satisfaction. “I’m full!”

“Let’s head back, then.”
Carlisle stood up from his chair and walked out without looking back.
Seeing this, Sunny hurriedly got up
I followed him.
“Mr. Warbane, you have to believe me.” Gusto looked troubled. “That dude is being too paranoid. He’s labeling everyone named Gust with the same brush.”
“I believe you,” Lethan reassured with a slight smile and patted Gusto on his shoulder. “You were introduced to me by a good friend. I wouldn’t disrespect him by doubting you.”
Feeling grateful, the young man thanked Lethan. “Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Warbane!”
“You go ahead and eat. I’ll go to the restroom,” Lethan informed.
“Alright, Mr. Warbane.”
As Carlisle and Sunny returned to the studjo, they found out Heath only took Benjamin with him.
Before leaving, Heath rearranged the studio’s structure–Owen was the studio head, Cameron the deputy studio head, and Sunny the business manager.
Just as Carlisle and Sunny walked in, Owen, who was in a meeting with the employees, loudly exclaimed, Hey, Carlisle!”
“Hello, Carlisle!” the dozen or so employees echoed in unison.
Carlisle almost didn’t recognize Owen, who had silver hair and tattoos covering his arms. The rest of the employees also had colored hair.
The only one with normal hair was Cameron, who had a head of flowing hair.
As Carlisle stared at the tattoos on Owen’s arms, he recalled a scene from his past life when Owen
boasted about his tattoos to him.
“Carlisle, how cool is my Patton tattoo?”
