Upon seeing that, John chuckled even more and asked.

“Is it not a lie?”

“What reason would I have to lie? Thanks to the advantage of dominating the domestic market at the moment, BEM receives a lot of attention compared to its capabilities. But at least until now, I haven’t found it worthwhile to invest.”

“Is it okay to speak so harshly, claiming you’re on good terms with the CEO there?”

Derek chuckled sarcastically. Jen, with a helpless expression, nodded as if there was no other choice.

‘So far, that is…’

Belus, who had been lost in thought while stroking his chin, playfully commented with crossed legs.

“Hey, what’s this? I tried to have some fun by following someone who makes good money.”

“Even making such exaggerated remarks…”

“No, I’m not joking. Is there really no useful information?”

While Belus spoke lightly and playfully until the end, the friends thought. If an uneventful answer comes out here, today might be the last day they see Jen Baker.

‘But you can’t help but give a bland answer.’

What crazy investor would be leaking information like this? So, this is a test-like performance to see how Jen Baker reacts.

‘Anyway, Belus, you have to tolerate whims.’

‘But honestly, Jen Baker alone is much better than all the bourgeois here.’

Although the friends regretted missing Jen Baker, there was nothing they could do. As everyone mentally bid farewell to Jen Baker, when Jen looked around quietly, he whispered softly.

“I guess it’s difficult to share that kind of information in a place like this.”

As the eyes of Belus and other men widened, Jen shook his head slightly, seeming unavoidable.

“Seriously, was that just a joke?”

“No, that’s what I wanted to say.”

“I’m not joking.”

Jen’s dazzling gaze met Belus’s deep blue eyes.

“Since you invited me to such a precious gathering, I naturally thought about compensating for the value. Of course, I can’t guarantee fantastic information that would satisfy all of you, but… I can assure you that the information I provide won’t be harmful.”

As Belus slightly opened his mouth and chuckled sarcastically, Jen laughed quietly.

“You know, there’s no power in attracting money to well-known information that everyone knows. So, please tell me when, where, and to whom I should speak.”

At that moment, the waiter placed whiskey in front of Jen and Belus. Jen greeted lightly, took the whiskey glass, and took a sip.

The raised eyebrows that seemed unfamiliar with the scent indicated that this was Jen’s first time in this place, but his posture was infinitely relaxed.

‘He’s really confident.’

Although he said it was nothing special, can he show such a relaxed appearance with really unimportant information?

‘Probably not.’
Belus didn’t particularly like people who groveled in front of him, but the current situation was to his liking. Jen had handed me the power to choose, so how could I feel bad?

“Now that you mention it, I’m curious. How about we set aside some time to meet?”

At Belus’s words, the eyes of the three friends quickly shifted. Belus felt the three exchanging glances, but he pretended to be innocent.

“Let’s say all five of us meet.”

The surprised eyes of the friends were fixed on Belus. Belus continued to gaze at Jen and asked.

“How about it? Is this acceptable?”

Jen answered with a satisfied smile.

“Of course.”

Deborah used to work for the Header family. At that time, Deborah’s colleagues often sent most of the money they earned back to their families in their hometowns.

“That damn living expense is never enough, never!”

“My younger brother wants to go to school. He’s not the kind to speak up, but since he’s making such an effort…”

“Mother’s medication. She’s not in good health.”

So, with reasons that were convincing to themselves, the colleagues decided to live a hard life. Although they worked hard every day, they didn’t deny themselves the small romance in their lives.

“What are you going to buy when you go out this time?”

A maid who was waxing the stairs spoke. Everyone’s faces, soaked in sweat as they exerted force while sitting and working, lit up with joy.

“I’m going to buy rose cream! They say if you just apply that, you won’t age. Oh, Lotte, did you say you’re going to buy lace?”

“That’s settled. I’m satisfied enough with work clothes. Around here, maids who wear nice work clothes like us are rare. When we occasionally go out, everyone is so distracted.”

“That’s right!”

Everyone laughed out loud with joy.

“Oh, I’m definitely buying candy when I go out this time! And I won’t let Hans take it away!”

“Hmm. I want a hat. I also want new shoes.”

“Oh my. Then I guess I won’t be able to send living expenses.”

“Well, that can’t be helped. I guess I’ll have to buy a card to send to my younger brother.”

When Deborah heard the joyful laughter and complaining sounds of her colleagues, she smiled faintly.

“Debi, what won’t you buy this time?”

“Nothing, really.”

“Wow. How can you have so little greed? My list of things I want always grows!”
