Senior Sy was very kind and pleasant to their guests and would tend to everyone on Lana’s behalf if Lana would be very busy attending the others.

“I didn’t know that my daughter-in-law is friends with our known superstar here…” He said as he greeted Brione and Noah and checked how they were doing and how dinner was for them.

Brione blushed and said, “Thank you Sir.”

Miley who approached their table interrupted in a jest, “Dad, her brother Noah is competing with bro Liam’s firm. The one I mentioned before. Yao legal firm.”

Then she looked at Noah and said with a wink, “I bet my brother is giving you a hard time in competition.”

Noah’s eyebrows arched as he responded, “Not really. I’m quite enjoying it in fact…”

Senior Sy laughed and said, “That’s good then. You two should have fun while competing. That’s better to hear than hearing you two killing each other…”

“Do you mind?” Senior Sy asked, and Brione gestured to them to sit on the vacant chairs on their table. Senior Sy then sat down and Miley followed.

Senior Sy talked to the two about various things. Noah noticed how Liam’s family were all warm, especially Liam’s father.

Miley and Senior Sy had a conversation with him and Brione for a while, and Miley also took the opportunity to have a selfie with her idol. She was a huge fan of Brione. She did not care how the media described Brione as clumsy and without brains because as far as she could see, Brione had superb talents and was a kind person.

Senior Sy soon left their table because Liam was asking for him, but Miley stayed. For some reason, something piqued her interest about Noah. She noticed how the man often stared at her father with a conflicted look, and she wondered why?

“So tell me, Mr. Yu. You are so popular in the business world… What made you still enter the legal world?” Miley asked directly.

Noah smiled at her and said, “I want to compete with your brother and beat him and be the best and at the top in the legal world.”

Miley nodded, then commented, “Is that so. Competition is very natural in this world. But I’m curious, is this something personal or just that you have the kind of personality such that you want to be the best at everything, like those who love monumental challenges…”

She remembered she once read in an article that Noah wanted to be the best at everything, but she still wanted to hear it from him personally for some reason.

Noah did not respond but chuckled so Brione poked him and whispered, “Big Bro… Miley is asking you.”

Noah’s face became serious as he looked at Miley and firmly replied, “I’m not sure either, Miley. I think it’s fifty fifty…”

“Huh? I’m sorry?” Miley asked and was about to grill him more, but Jorge arrived.

“I’m sorry about this, but can I borrow my fiance for a while?” Jorge interrupted and pulled her away from the table that instant without waiting for anyone to reply.

“What was that?” Brione asked her brother when Miley left.

Noah shrugged his shoulders and casually answered, “I want to break one of the Sy members down to see if she will get affected…”

“What?!” Brione exclaimed, looking more confused to what her brother was blabbing about.

Noah smiled at her and said, “Haha. Nothing… Maybe Miley’s fiance got jealous, so he pulled her away? Look at you, frowning. How about a drink? I will get some… What do you want? Oh wine. You’re only allowed to drink wine.”

He immediately stood up to grab some drinks from the waiter. He could just call one, but for some reason his feet were itching to walk near Luo, who was so shamelessly busy drinking with the men.

‘Look at that woman! She did not even bother to greet me!’ he irritably mused because since he arrived, he noticed Luo was already drinking with two men.

“Oh, Noah is here!” he heard her loud voice, then the next thing he knew was that she was pulling him towards the table where Liam and the rest of the men were drinking.

“Hey!” he hissed.

“What? You should drink with the men and don’t worry about your sis, Lana already pulled her along with her… See?” Luo nuzzled her lips and Noah saw Brione being pulled by Lana to join the others.

“How come you’re with the boys?!” he exclaimed unconsciously with a loud voice.

Jorge laughed and commented, “Luo is one of the boys. She’s been with your firm for more than a month. Didn’t you get a hint already on how she loves drinking with men?”

Luo laughed and jokingly said, “Haha… You see how I changed my style recently? He is the man responsible for that. He’s trying to bring out the woman in me…”

“Ohhh…” everyone answered in chorus.

“Yeah, you look so good dressed like this, but I still like the old Luo. That way no man would dare look at you except me.” Daryl candidly expressed. He hated it when Luo returned so stunning. All eyes were now on her at Sy legal firm!

Noah felt like he was so out of place in the group because he did not know them personally except for Liam and Luo. Though he knew most of them were also from prominent families in the business world, like Jeru Liu. Of course he also knew their Field Marshal Zach by name, but tonight he had the opportunity to personally meet the man for the first time.

“Don’t be stiff and enjoy the night, okay? You’re not in the office…” He heard Luo whisper in his ear. Her warm breath falling on his skin made him a little uncomfortable.

“Let’s have a toast for my wife who passed the exam with flying colors,” Liam cheered.

Noah felt Luo elbowed him. He turned at her and she winked, saying, “Cheers!”

He then thought it would be best to leave as soon as possible from that party or he could feel Luo would do something that would put him into a difficult situation.

“Guys… Let’s play a game!” Luo’s voice roared outside the garden of the Huang Mansion.
