Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 714 Mr. Clemens Gets Jealous
"Sadie!"
The name escaped Louis' lips as his gaze swept past Micah and found Sadie, a spark of unexpected delight lighting up his eyes. Without hesitation, he took a step forward, pulling Sadie into an intimate embrace.
She did not resist, nor did she refuse. Instead, she nestled into Louis, their bodies fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle, painting a picture of a couple deeply in love.
Micah watched the scene unfold, a furrow forming between his brows as he stared at them coldly. Unconsciously, his hands clenched into fists, the knuckles turning white under the strain.
"What's going on?" Andrew's eyes widened in astonishment. "Does Louis know Miss James?"
"They're probably more than just acquaintances..." Alan's voice was laced with a meaningful tone, suggesting a deeper connection.
Shaking off his initial shock, Micah quickly composed himself and strode over. "Louis!" He called out, his voice echoing in the room. Louis released Sadie, but his arm still lingered around her shoulder. He turned around, a beaming smile on his face as he greeted Micah in French. "Micah, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Sadie!"
"When did you become friends?" Micah's question was directed at Louis, but his gaze was fixed on Sadie.
"We've known each other for two years..." Louis' eyes met Sadie's as he flashed her a charming smile. "Sadie, this is the good friend I mentioned to you, Micah!"
"We've known each other for a while." Sadie's voice was soft as she nestled further into Louis' embrace, looking petite and lovely. "Mr. Clemens and I just met yesterday!"
"Oh, really?" Louis' surprise was evident. "How did you two meet?"
"We met through work..." Sadie's French was fluent, a stark contrast to the Sadie from two years ago, whose English needed to be clearer.
"Louis, it seems you don't know her well." Micah's gaze bore into Sadie as he spoke, his tone straightforward. "She is the second shareholder of the James family, Tristan's sister!"
"What?" Louis' shock was palpable, his hand recoiling from Sadie's shoulder. "You're Tristan's sister??" He echoed Micah's words, disbelief etched on his face.
"Yes." Sadie's smile was bright as she confirmed her identity. "I did mention that I had a secret to tell you the next time we met!"
"But..." Louis was at a loss for words, a mix of emotions playing across his face. He had his share of unpleasant experiences with Tristan and had kept his distance from him. The revelation that Sadie was Tristan's sister was something he had not anticipated.
"What? Just because I'm Tristan's sister, you don't want to be friends with me?" Sadie's question was laced with a hint of doubt, her smile never wavering.
"No, it's not that..." Louis quickly shook his head, struggling to replace the right words. "I said we would be forever friends; it's just..."
"All right, I won't interrupt your work." Sadie cut him off, her gaze lingering on Micah for a moment before she turned to leave.
"Sadie..." Louis' voice trailed off as he watched her retreating figure. Sadie turned back, leaving him with a charming smile before disappearing from sight.
"All right, she's gone." Micah's tone was slightly sour, a hint of displeasure creeping into his voice.
"I never expected that Sadie would be Tristan's sister!" Louis echoed Micah's sentiment, his mood complicated.
"You knew her, and yet you didn't know her identity?" Micah's question hung in the air as he pulled Louis along, their footsteps echoing in the room. "How did you two meet?"
"I met her two years ago at a banquet. She played the piano exceptionally well, and I was instantly captivated..." Louis' voice trailed off as he recalled the memory. "At that time, she was on stage playing the piano, and the music sheet was missing a page. I went up on stage to help her out..."
He added, "By the way, you were also there at that banquet. It seems like you were the host at the Noble Summit Manor." Louis' voice was filled with nostalgia, the memory of that night still vivid in his mind.
"Two years ago..." Micah's voice was soft as he remembered the banquet. He and Amelia had collaborated on a project and held a dinner at the Noble Summit. Sadie had replaced Serena on stage to perform, and indeed, Louis had gone up to help her. If only he had cut off his feelings back then, he would not be competing with him for a woman two years later!
