"The president of Louis Vuitton? When is he coming?" Arlan asked with interest. He had bought some clothes in their store and he liked them a lot. It would be nice if he could be acquainted with such a person.
"Mr. Bacari will be here tomorrow with a few more important people from the LVMH Group." Krizia chatted eagerly with Arlan.
The LVMH is a French luxury conglomerate formed from the merger of Louis Vuitton and another business giant. They have more than seventy independently-managed subsidiary companies!
Fredrinn was also interested in the topic so he joined the conversation. As for Sofia, Jezzie, and Danica, they didn't know a lot about these things so they just remained silent.
"Miss Rosalez, this information should be confidential in your hotel. Won't you be in trouble if you tell this to us?" Fredrinn muttered jokingly.
Krizia shook her head and smiled. "Why would I be in trouble? Mr. Roa is the new owner of the Pegasus Hotel."
Fredrinn almost spat the wine he was drinking when he heard this. "What?! Mr. Roa is actually the owner of Pegasus Hotel?!"
Sofia was also shocked by this information. Jezzie and Danica looked calm on the surface, but they were actually surprised as well.
Arlan chuckled when he saw the expression on their faces.
The atmosphere inside the private room became more friendly the more they chatted.
"It's getting late. We should get going." Arlan stood up and muttered while looking at the time on his watch.
"I had fun, Mr. Roa. Thank you for inviting me here." Fredrinn stood up and shook Arlan's hand.
"I'm happy that you came here with us, Fredrinn. There's no need to call me Mr. Roa next time, just call me by my name. Mr. Roa is too formal." Arlan muttered with a smile. They had grown closer after a few rounds of drinks.
Fredrinn hesitated, but when he saw Arlan's hopeful gaze, he said. "That... Then I'll just call you Sir Arlan."
Hearing this, Arlan shrugged as he smiled helplessly. "As long as you're comfortable with it." He then turned his gaze to Krizia and said to her. "Miss Rosalez, please arrange a car to send off Fredrinn."
"Yes, Mr. Roa!" Krizia nodded her head.
Arlan left the private room with Sofia.
"You've really hidden yourself well. You're actually the owner of Pegasus Hotel." Sofia sighed while looking at his side profile. She initially had thoughts of getting him, but his background intimidated her.
"I'm just lucky." Arlan shook his head and smiled. If not for the mysterious app, he would be nothing today.
"Arlan?!" Suddenly, they heard a surprised voice behind them.
Arlan turned his head and saw Owen. This guy was his teammate when he played basketball with Terrence. Although his skill level was not as great as Terrence's, he was still a talented young man with high prospects.
"Owen, you're here too?" Arlan was happy to see an acquaintance. He looked at Owen and saw that there was a beautiful young woman standing beside him.
"Yeah. I came here to have some drinks with my friends." Owen was also happy to see Arlan. Because of him, he no longer had to worry about Terrence pestering his girlfriend. "By the way, this is Sally. She is my girlfriend. Sally, this is the guy I've been talking about. He is more skilled than Terrence and I heard that he also knows how to play piano."
"Hello, Arlan! Nice to meet you!" Sally smiled at him.
Arlan also smiled at her. He then introduced Sofia to them. "This is Sofia. She is... She is a friend of mine..." He didn't know how to introduce Sofia so he just told them that she was a friend.
Hearing this, the eyes of Owen and Sally flashed imperceptibly.
"Arlan, our school's basketball team is having a tryout next Saturday. I wonder if you could come." Owen muttered with a hopeful look. Arlan was a very dominant basketball player and he was also an all-rounder. He could dribble the ball, give flashy passes, and also shoot the basket with great accuracy. He was the very player that every team needs so he was hoping that he could invite him to their school's team. With his presence in their team, they would have a high chance to win the championship.
Arlan was taken aback when he heard this, but he shook his head. "I'm sorry, Owen. My hands are tied at the moment and I don't have extra time to play basketball. Besides, I'm not a college student." The idea of becoming a professional basketball player might be tempting to many, he wasn't one of them.
"Too bad. Just let me know if you change your mind. Let's exchange contact numbers." Owen didn't insist after his rejection, but he still want to maintain contact with him.
"I can play with you guys, but I don't plan to join a basketball team." Arlan didn't mind playing some basketball games with them. After all, keeping a healthy body was necessary.
"Good! I'll call you if we need some players."
They chatted briefly before they bid farewell to each other.
"Sofia, you should stay with your family for now. You can start working for me once the City Land Hotel finds a replacement for you." Arlan said while observing the surroundings. He noticed that the three cars that followed them earlier were still there.
Sofia nodded her head. They had already discussed this matter. "Alright."
"Mr. Roa, Miss Rosalez asked me to drive you guys back." A woman walked towards them and bowed. It was Zed Brier, Krizia's Assistant.
Arlan didn't reject her. "Alright. Please send us to City Land Hotel first."
"Yes, Mr. Roa!" Zed nodded her head. She then opened the door of the limousine for them.
"Thanks." Arlan and Sofia stepped inside the car. This limousine was bulletproof. That was also why Arlan didn't reject Zed's offer to drive for them.
Soon, the limousine drove off.
Meanwhile, a man dressed in a blue suit grabbed the phone in his pocket after seeing them driving away. "Boss, they are still riding the limousine."
