From this point, it should be just a coincidence for this man to look identical to Luke. Both men were
far different in terms of their behavior.
Joshua was a typical businessman. Since Steven already held a sort of apprehension toward him
during their first meeting, it also showed Joshua that Steven was not good with business dealings. After
the negotiation, not only did Joshua have what he wanted, he even obtained a huge profit from Steven.
In the meantime, Steven did not know he suffered a big loss, even though he was on the winning side.
After the negotiation was completed, Steven wanted to treat Joshua and Thomas to lunch excitedly.
“I don‘t think that‘s necessary. I‘ve another schedule on hand, and Mr. Howard needs to rush to his next
appointment.” Joshua stood up and looked at Steven with a remote expression. His voice sounded very
flat as he added, “Wasn‘t Mr. Hughes the one who said you didn‘t like to make friends?”
Steven looked embarrassed when he heard that. He tried to explain, “Mr. Lynch, I don‘t mean that…”
“Nevermind.” Joshua waved his hand and stopped Steven from explaining. “We‘re just business
partners. There‘s no need for other interaction other than that.”
He looked at Thomas, who was still in shock. “Let‘s go.”
Thomas finally regained his senses and followed Joshua to leave the conference room. When they left
Hughes Group and entered the car, Thomas gave Joshua a big thumbs up. “You‘re amazing!”
Yes, Thomas asked for Joshua‘s help, but he never saw what Joshua was like during a business
negotiation. He was supposed to attend today‘s meeting by himself because the cooperation with
Hughes Group was not important in Joshua‘s plan.
After Yannie mentioned Denise in the morning, Joshua changed his mind and decided to follow
Thomas to the negotiation.
Thomas could only use one word to describe the result of the negotiation–marvelous.
In the past, Thomas had many misunderstandings with Joshua, which included the achievement
Joshua had today due to the glory of his family back in the day. It was on this day, after witnessing the
negotiation with Steven, that he saw how eloquent and persuasive Joshua was. He believed Joshua
had the ability to turn right into wrong and vice versa, which amazed him profoundly, especially after
seeing how happy Steven was after Steven suffered a big loss.
He was downright impressed with Joshua.
Joshua closed his eyes and leaned back on the car seat lazily, massaging his temple. “You know
Steven before?”
Thomas nodded. “Yes. His father was my old man‘s family friend. I saw him a couple of times.”
. Joshua opened his eyes and squinted again. “Is this what he looks like?”
Thomas paused and nodded. “You think he looked identical to Luke, don‘t you?”
He changed his seating posture to feel more comfortable. “I also discovered it after I came back here
this time. This is what he looks like, but I only saw him a few times and never really made friends with
him.
When I was in Merchant City, I thought Luke looked very familiar the first time I saw him, but I can‘t
remember who he looked like. It was only after I came back here and saw Steven did I remember…that
these two look alarmingly similar. “I know Luke is your friend and Gwen‘s beloved man, but…”
Thomas paused. “I can testify he‘s not Luke. He‘s Steven Hughes.”
