The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 560

Johnny's gaze followed the pointing hand to meet Colton, and he greeted once more, "Mr. Colton, pleasure to meet you."

Colton hadn't expected Johnny to be so youthful, barely looking a day over thirty-five, with a scholarly appearance and polite demeanor that suggested he was approachable. He quickly nodded towards Johnny with a hint of eagerness, "Johnny, good to see you. I've heard quite a bit about you, and I appreciate you taking the time to come out today."

Johnny was a seasoned player in circles filled with all sorts of characters, from high-ranking officials to business magnates, and could usually size someone up in a glance.

Frankly, Colton's overtly ingratiating approach rubbed him the wrong way. He had visited the Davis family before; in contrast, the Davises had seemed quite comfortable to be around, cultured.

Clearing his throat, Johnny managed to conceal his disappointment for the sake of Mirabella, his lips parting only to say, "You're too kind."

Unaware of Johnny's inner critique, Colton gestured invitingly and said, "Shall we sit down and talk over lunch?" Mandy had already summoned the service staff to prepare the meal as Johnny entered.
