Chapter 171 Meeting with Wren Tanaka (1/2)
One week later…
”Huh? Is brother Mo still mad about that punch?” Furrowing his brows, Ethan Lu frowned after hearing that his presence wasn't needed to the transaction with Wren Tanaka. Although it was not a big deal, still, he was an important affiliate with this project that they were proposing. Moreover, it was originally Morris and Ethan's… or so, what he believed.
”Brother Mo is not as petty as you. Besides, you'll have less burden.” Sighing heavily, Chris Yu lowly dissed Ethan Lu but his tone was low as if he was tired, or rather disturbed.
”Oi, my reason is not petty. I am dragging him back to reality as a friend.” Because he had been relentlessly working for the past week, Ethan Lu's defense wasn't as aggressive as it used to be as he didn't have the energy to argue with Chris Yu.
”Whatever, man.” Sighing, Chris Yu ended the call without short notice. He already told Ethan Lu what he needed to say for his own good. Hence, Chris Yu and Morris Liu could be at ease with that problem.
Alas, even if they didn't have to think about Ethan Lu, the man they were about to meet filled Chris Yu with dread. After all, none of them knew how Wren Tanaka's mind works or rather, Chris Yu was more uneasy if he would agree to side with them.
Turning to his side, Chris Yu could not help but admire Morris Liu for keeping his icy front intact. It was as if he had no worries or he could not be bothered if this will be a good day or bloody. As Chris Yu was wondering what was going on in this cold man's mind, Morris Liu spoke.
”You're the only one coming with me.” With that said note, Morris Liu exited the car without a word.
”Yes, yes,” Slowly nodding, Chris Yu let out another heavy sigh. He then followed Morris Liu towards a private restaurant where they would meet Wren Tanaka.
Chris Yu glanced at the only car parked outside— aside from theirs before his gaze scanned the surroundings.
He recalled that days before their said meeting, Morris Liu received an email personally from Wren Tanaka. His message was short but precise, saying: ”Please bring fewer people.”
When Chris Yu came to know this short message, he felt a cold chill run down his spine. Unlike Morris Liu who already withdrawn his order the next day when Lexi gave him the note— as if he already predicted this. However, Chris Yu still felt that he was being watched. It was not that he was scared or anything of the sort, but he was irked as he didn't like being spied on.
”Weird, I don't see anyone around.” Chris Yu murmured as he expected that the place would be firmly guarded.
”He doesn't need that many.” Flatly responding, Morris Liu didn't halt on his step as he made his way directly to the lone restaurant that was located outside the city.
When Morris Liu entered the establishment, he was greeted by the manager with a polite bow and a reserved smile. Aside from the several staff beside the manager, there were no customers present.
”Mr. Liu, this way please.” The manager courtly gesture and guided both men to a private lounge where Wren Tanaka was waiting. Reaching the door, the manager turned his head to Morris Liu and Chris Yu.
”Mr. Tanaka is inside.” With that said note, the manager walked away without making any noise. Chris Yu's gaze followed the manager's figure until he could no longer see him.
”Sketchy…” He muttered. He had been observing the manager since they came in, hence, Chris Yu turned more hostile and didn't let his guard down.
On the other hand, Morris Liu remained silent as if nothing could faze him. He reached out for the door handle and slowly, he opened it without blinking. The moment it opened, Wren Tanaka raised his gaze while he was languidly sitting on one of the sofas.
Seeing Morris Liu and Chris Yu behind him, his face brightened as a huge smile— revealing his even white teeth showed on his flawless face. Wren Tanaka then stood from his seat as he greeted with open arms, ”Mr. Liu!”
