“You have already met my brother and Freya. These two are my brother’s best friends,” Hannah said
while pointing to Chris as she held onto Baxter’s arm. “This is Chris, the young master of the Holland
Group in Vroria. I just call him Chris.”
Chris sat still on the sofa, and his gaze was cold as he glanced at Baxter. He was suppressing the urge
to scoff.
Meanwhile, Baxter maintained a polite posture as he stood in front of Chris and extended his hand with
a smile on his face. “Chris.”
Seeing that, Chris raised his hand and gestured in the air. “How old are you? Are you trying to be
chummy. with me?”
Hearing that, the embarrassed Baxter retracted his hand and scratched his head while smiling. “I’m
twenty-eight years old this year.”
“What my boyfriend means is that you’re not qualified to be buddy-buddy with him. Why can’t you
understand?” Regina coldly interjected.
The atmosphere in the room became tense for a moment. With a furious look on her face, Hannah
puffed up her cheeks and wanted to argue with Regina, but Baxter held her back.
Baxter acted like a gentleman and gently shook his head at Hannah before whispering something in
her ear. Soon, Hannah’s anger subsided, but she still glared fiercely at Regina.
Freya sighed inwardly as she watched, realizing that now Hannah only listened to Baxter’s words.
After introducing Chris, Hannah turned to Mikael and introduced him to Baxter. “This is Mikael. I usually
call him Mick. You can just call him that too.”
Baxter then turned to Mikael and extended his hand as well.
Mikael, who was sitting on the sofa, put down his glass and stood up to shake hands with Baxter. He
had a gentle yet distant smile on his face. “Hello,
Poppy also smiled lightly at Baxter.
Now that all eight of them were present, they quickly started drinking and chatting. Poppy and Regina.
discussed jewelry and accessories.
Poppy had recently opened a jewelry store and was interested in renowned jewelry designers, hoping
that Regina could help with introductions.
Freya sipped her drink and occasionally chimed in with a comment, but her gaze always fell on Hannah
and Baxter.
Whether it was the conversation between the girls or the guys, Baxter couldn’t find a chance to speak.
He sat next to Hannah, and there was a hint of awkwardness on his face. It was unknown if it was
intentional or not.
Hannah clearly noticed Baxter’s discomfort. She whispered to him and even fed him fruit occasionally.
Freya became increasingly impatient when she realized that Baxter’s tactics were similar to those of
certain manipulative women, deliberately feigning weakness.
Ironically, this display of weakness only made Hannah feel more protective of him.
Without actually doing anything, his fragile yet resilient demeanor gave the impression that he had
made significant concessions in love.
After a few rounds of drinks, Radley and Chris had finished discussing some upcoming projects that
Caltun might implement.
Mikael then looked up at Radley and said, “My bar has been doing well lately, and I’m planning to open
another one. Can you help me find a suitable location?”
When the topic of the bar came up, Baxter’s interest was instantly piqued. He turned to Mikael and
asked with a smile, “Mick, what kind of bar do you own?”
“Nightshade Bar,” Mikael replied politely.
Baxter’s eyes lit up upon hearing that, as Nightshade Bar was undoubtedly the most luxurious bar in
Caltun.
Not only did it have strict requirements for its guests, but its decor was also top-notch, making it one of
the best in this metropolis and even among the top nationwide.
His heart burned with excitement. Although he had discussed opening a bar and investing 150 million.
with Hannah, it was still incomparable to Mikael’s Nightshade Bar.
After thinking for a moment, Baxter smiled and asked, “Mick, what about your previous bar?”
Mikael was taken aback after hearing that and replied, The previous one was doing well. I just want to
open another one in the north of the city. What about it?”
Baxter quickly made up his mind and said, “Mick, actually, Hannah and I are planning to open a bar, but
there are many things we don’t understand. We would like to learn from you. And since Nightshade Bar
has such a reputation, can we directly join your franchise when we open our bar?”
Freya sneered coldly on the side after hearing that. Nightshade Bar did indeed have a great reputation.
It ranked among the top three nationwide, but it was all due to Mikael’s hard work.
Unlike Radley and Chris, Mikael had earned all his money through his own efforts..
Over the years, he had never offered franchise opportunities.
After Baxter finished speaking, Mikael maintained a slight smile on his face.
“If you want to join, how much franchise fee can you offer?” Chris asked Baxter with a frownL
Baxter was somewhat surprised, but he managed to maintain an innocent expression on his face. “I
thought you guys were like Hannah’s brothers.”
The conversation seemed to be halfway through when he awkwardly glanced at Hannah and said,
“How about this? Mick can name any price he wants?”
With the conversation reaching this point, Hannah, who was standing on the side, nodded and said,
“Mick, you can set any price.”
Mikael smiled at Hannah and replied, “Given the relationship between your brother and me, if it’s your
brother who wants to open a bar, I wouldn’t mind giving him the one in the south of the city.”
Seeing Baxter’s excitement, Mikael’s tone changed, “But since it’s your boyfriend who wants to open it,
as close brothers, we still need to be clear about the financial aspect. I haven’t allowed anyone to join.
Nightshade yet, so I don’t have a set price in mind. Let me go back and have someone look into it. With
Nightshade’s current reputation, the franchise fee could be at least tens of millions per year, and I will
also have certain requirements for the equipment and location you choose.”
Freya’s gaze shifted slightly as she looked at Mikael. “So, how much money do you expect them to
invest?”
“The Nightshade Bar, located in the southern part of the city, currently boasts state-of-the-art
equipment. The two exceptional sound systems that I personally developed alone cost over a hundred
million dollars.”
Mikael smiled and added, “Although it’s hard to determine the exact amount at this stage, taking into
account miscellaneous expenses such as location selection, it would cost at least two billion.”
“Two billion would exceed your budget,” Freya turned to Hannah.
Hannah, who had never been overly concerned about money, replied, “That’s alright, we can allow it to
exceed a bit. With Bax’s talent, we will definitely earn it back in the future.”
Baxter glanced at Hannah with a covetous look in his eyes but maintained a smile. “Hannah, let’s not
dwell. on it. The investment would be too substantial.”
Poppy, who sat opposite them, suddenly chuckled. “I overheard Freya mention earlier that you plan to
open a bar and invest 1.5 billion. If 1.5 billion isn’t enough, adding another 50 million shouldn’t be a
problem. I’m just curious, Mr. Smith, as a young scion of a certain family, why would you choose to
open a bar instead of inheriting the family business?
