Chapter 288: Something's Not Right

Mary looked at that slender hand and was slightly taken aback.

Then she saw the door being pushed open.

Uncle Davis couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see a man standing outside.

Upon seeing him, everyone in the room paused for a moment.

Everyone knew this person. He was the assistant to Mr. Ellis. He stood there, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Mary. "Mr. Ellis is dining next door, and he asked me to come and say hello. Miss Davis, are you alright?"

Uncle Davis immediately paused.

He then turned his gaze toward Mary.

He had originally thought that Mary hadn't caught Mr. Ellis's eye, which was why he brought her here to accompany the fat Lynch, but now Mr. Ellis suddenly came in to greet her...

Was Mr. Ellis interested in Mary?

Mary hadn't expected Mr. Ellis's assistant to expressly ask after her, but she instantly understood; this was her chance to flaunt borrowed power.
