The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 925

When Dane got to the restaurant, Johnny had already been waiting in the private room for about half an hour. But he didn't look the least bit impatient.

"Hey, Dane," Johnny greeted, extending his hand.

Since passing the assessment and becoming a senior pharmacist last year, Dane seemed more spirited than ever. He barely touched Johnny's hand before pulling away. "Johnny."

Johnny's eyes narrowed for a moment, but he kept his polite smile. He went back to his seat and handed the menu to Dane.

Johnny hadn’t mentioned anything about buying medicine over the phone, nor had he talked to Nikolai about it. So, after Dane ordered and the waiter left, he turned to Johnny with a smile. "Johnny, if you needed something, you could've just said so over the phone. No need for all the formalities."

The words were polite enough, but Johnny caught Dane’s drift. It was a hint: no need to go through Nikolai or beat around the bush.

Johnny cleared his throat, deciding to get straight to the point. "I did ask you out today because I need a favor."

He pulled out a note listing several ingredients from his folder and handed it to Dane.

Dane's expression turned serious as he looked it over. "What's this?"

"These are ingredients urgently needed by a friend of our boss. Dane, with your senior status in the Pharmacists’ Guild, could you help us get these?" Johnny asked, ever so polite.

Dane recognized all the ingredients on the list. They were rare, mostly used for detoxification, and a couple for repairing bodily functions. In the guild, these ingredients were seldom used because they were rare and typically needed for concocting S-grade or higher medicines. And S-grade pharmacists were few and far between.
