Baiheng knew nothing of this. She gave Jingliu a gentle push, urging her friend to sit with Xianyu.
Only after Jingliu took her seat did the Foxian hear her own name.
She nodded blankly, then warmly greeted her executive friend.
The company executive gave a few dry chuckles and shifted his feet, turning his toes toward the private dining room's door.

The bearded man chuckled dryly and obediently dropped the honorific.
He had recognized that face the moment he saw it!
