“Mr. Lavers, you’ve arrived!”
Upon seeing Travis, Danny immediately picked up his wine glass to greet him.
Observing this, the others also lit up with excitement.
It was clear from Travis’s entrance that he had come specifically to toast Danny.
Holding his wine glass, Travis chuckled, “Mr. Shaw! Your business is expanding so well these days. Having you dine here really honors my modest restaurant.”
Just an hour ago, Richard, the general manager from Andura Bank, called him, requesting that he take care of some VIP guests!
Since he was not at the hotel, he had asked the lobby manager to look out for the two distinguished guests arriving by car and informed Richard about their private room number.
After changing his clothes, he hurried over from his home. He had expected the VIPs to be someone he didn’t recognize, but to his surprise, Danny was the first person he saw upon entering the private room. His first thought was that Danny must have recently made a fortune in real estate and become an important client at Andura Bank. After all, he knew how good the real estate industry was!
“Thank you, Mr. Lavers. My small enterprise is nothing compared to yours,” Danny replied as the compliment visibly touched him.
It wasn’t that he was being understated, but he genuinely wasn’t as impressive as Travis in front of him.
He hadn’t expected Travis to speak so highly of him and lifted him so much in front of his old classmates!
However, he felt that this was just a courtesy between successful individuals. He thought Travis saw that he was hosting a class reunion and wanted to help him shine in front of his old classmates. The way Travis did business impressed him!
“Mr. Shaw, you always play things down. If the bank’s general manager is singling you out, your real estate work must really be awe-inspiring!” Travis laughed warmly as he gave Danny a supportive thumbs
up.
“General manager?” Danny looked puzzled, not immediately grasping Travis’s implication.
“Absolutely, you’re always understating your achievements,” Travis chuckled while giving Danny a friendly pat on the shoulder.
The onlookers were visibly impressed.
