Chapter 164 Compliments From Max
Danny didn’t even have to turn around to feel George glaring daggers at him.
He was shocked when he realised what he had said.

He hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Ms. Milly, I misheard you. Did you say put on a tie? I can’t do that, But I can put on some music for you like a DJ..
Milly was at a loss for words.
Is he crazy!
Why does George’s assistant seem a bit silly?
Milly had no choice but to pull out her phone and search for a tutorial on tying a tie while she tried to follow along.
After five minutes of struggling, she finally managed to tie a lopsided tie..
Milly was unsatisfied with it. “Maybe we should ask one of the waiters at the banquet to help,” she said and tried to remove the tie.
George avoided her hand and gently stroked the tie. He was in a good mood.
“It’s fine, it looks nice.”
Milly was at a loss for words once again.
What the hell?
Are you sure?
From the rearview mirror, Danny was shocked to see George looking disheveled.
What made Mr. Tate say that the tie looks nice with a straight face? Doesn’t his conscience hurt?
Luckily, he could pull off the messy style with his handsome looks.
Soon, they arrived and got out of the car.
Milly was stunned by the imposing and opulent mansion before her, gaining a new perspective on the extravagant lives of the wealthy.
It seemed she had underestimated the world of the rich.
A nearby usher in formal attire noticed them and quickly approached with a welcoming and respectful smile, “Good evening. May I see your invitations, please?”
Milly handed over her invitation, and Danny handed George’s.
After verifying the invitations, the usher respectfully led them inside..

“This way please”
Finished
Milly thought the exterior was already luxurious enough, but the interior was even more astonishing. Ivory columns that were carved with intricate designs reached up to the ceiling. The polished marble floor was covered with thick wool carpets, and various crystal sculptures were displayed everywhere.
The decorations were blinding.
Milly thought that she was imagining things when the chatter and laughter quieted down the moment they entered. She noticed that everyone’s eyes were on them.
Even though Milly was tough, she still felt a little awkward under the gaze of so many elites.
George, on the other hand, remained calm while he exuded an air of dominance.
Just then, a chubby middle–aged man with glasses approached them with a friendly smile. He greeted George. “Mr. Tate, it’s been a long time. What a pleasant surprise to see you here.”
Milly found the man familiar and she recalled seeing him in a financial magazine a few days ago.
He was the CEO of an investment firm, and his net worth had been estimated at a billion.
big shot in the business world
However, George seemed not to recognize him. He asked coldly, “Who are you?”
Milly almost choked on her spit.
He’s so blunt to this big shot!
In her past life, her manager would have made her act humbly before such a big shot! She was surprised to see George speaking to him so casually.
The billionaire, however, laughed heartily, unfazed. “Mr. Tate, it’s possible for a busy man like you to forget about me. I’m Max Henderson. The CEO of InvestWise. We previously collaborated on a project,”
“Mhm. I remember you,” George’s tone was softer this time.
Upon hearing this, Max’s eyes lit up with excitement.
He rubbed his hands together, looking surprised. “Oh, it’s an honor that you remember, Mr. Tate. What do you think about the recent project? We can make any necessary changes to meet your company’s requirements.”
George was a little annoyed. “You should discuss work matters with our liaison department.”
Max sensed that George was upset and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead.
He had heard rumours about George being unpredictable and hard to please. Now he was witnessing it firsthand.
Have I said something wrong to offend Mr. Tate? Would this episode affect our project?
“Of course, Mr. Tate, I apologize for overstepping. This banquet is indeed not the place for business- related matters –

“Mr. Tate, you look very handsome today, especially in this outfit. It suits you perfectly. Max added desperately.
He tried his best to compliment George.
And it seemed to work. George’s cold demeanor softened after the flattery.
Seeing this, Max continued, “Mr. Tate, this tie is made for you. It’s luxurious yet understated, exuding an elegant sophistication. It’s such a rare design.”
Milly couldn’t believe her ears at the excessive flattery and took a glance at Max again.
Isn’t he worth billions? Hasn’t he seen a three thousand–dollar tie before?
However, George seemed to enjoy the compliments. He was smiling. After a moment, he said, “Contact my assistant later about the project.
His words implied that the project was almost a done deal,
Max was surprised. They had been negotiating this project for over a year without finalizing it, and today, a bit of flattery made a big difference!
He quickly thanked George for it.
Noticing this, the big shots from other companies swarmed over and showered George with praises.
