One striking instance of excessive politeness urred when a group of individuals simultaneously rushed to pay the dinner bill.


    While many hurried to settle the payment, not everyone was genuinely sincere in their intentions. Their eagerness seemed more like a performance of politeness, as if failing to do so would make them appear immature.


    As a result, it became amon sight to see several people crowding around the cashier, each one arguing and insisting on covering the cost.


    Amidst this chaotic disy, Charlie found himself admiring Paul’s cleverness and decisiveness. Paul effectively put an end to the fuss when Charlie mentioned he was busy and proceeded to see him off. This demonstrated a wise form ofmunication often found among astute individuals.


    Paul escorted Charlie all the way to the elevator lobby. Taking the initiative, he pressed the button for Charlie. They both turned their attention to the digital disy, which indicated that an elevator was arriving from the first floor and would soon reach their level.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As soon as the elevator doors opened, Paul eagerly gestured to enter, but before he could say anything, a tall, slender woman in a fitted suit and a form-fitting skirt stepped out of the elevator.


    This woman was stunningly beautiful and exuded an air of mour and allure, embodying the essence of every man’s dream.


    Paul blinked in surprise and eximed, “What brings you here, Miss Moore?”


    Just as the woman was about to respond, her gaze fell on Charlie standing beside Paul. Instantly, herposed demeanor transformed into a bright, cheerful smile, reminiscent of a spring day. “What a surprise, Master Wade! Why are you here?” she said, her voice filled with delight.


    Jasmine hadn’t anticipated running into Charlie, the man she secretly admired, which made her giggle in joy.<fn471b> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n fι?dnοvel</fn471b>


    Charlie looked up to find Jasmine inside the elevator, apanied by several bodyguards each carrying a lovely flower basket. He was equally taken aback by her presence and replied with a smile, “I’m here to help a friend assess the Feng Shui in his office.”


    Realizing that Paul had recognized Jasmine, Charlie concluded they must be acquainted.


    Jasmine beamed and added, “Oh, Master Wade, you know Paul as well! I’m here because my grandfather asked me to deliver some flower baskets to congratte Paul on theunch of his firm.”


    Then, realizing she hadn’t formally greeted Paul, she added with a hint of embarrassment, “Hello, Paul, it’s been a while!”


    Paul was astute and, being awyer, he had spent years interacting with various clients, including some less-than-reputable characters. This experience honed his ability to read people’s expressions and interpret their underlying emotions.


    In fact, the FBI once offered a course designed to train participants to analyze and decipher facial expressions, enabling them to detect lies by observing subtle changes in suspects’ expressions.


    This advanced psychological training was mandatory for all judicial officers.


    Paul had developed a keen sense for this skill through his legal studies in the United States, his career as awyer, and his upbringing by twowyer parents.


    Thus, with just a nce at Jasmine’s expression as she looked at Charlie, Paul could immediately tell that Jasmine had feelings for him.


    While he felt a twinge of envy at Charlie’s charm that could capture the attention of someone as breathtaking as Jasmine, he couldn’t help but reflect on the implications of the young mistress of the prestigious Moore family having a crush on a married man. Such a scenario could lead to quite the scandal!<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
