My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1919

Vivian agreed, "Alright."

The next morning, after breakfast, Manfred took Vivian to Holland Residence.

Glen had been informed ahead of time that Manfred would be bringing Vivian along. Though Glen knew little about her, Alger's glowing praises had left an impression. After all those compliments, Glen couldn't help but view her favorably.

Originally, Alger had scheduled a ceremonial ritual for a wealthy patron offering 5,000 dollars. But upon hearing Vivian would visit, he canceled it without hesitation. He'd been eagerly awaiting her, passing the time with a book in hand.

Glen watched Alger with mild amusement. Seeing him so absorbed brought a wave of nostalgia, a glimpse of decades past when they were just boys.

Back then, Alger was a small, curious child with an insatiable interest in metaphysics. Over time, Alger built a vast network of disciples, though none likely imagined their mentor would one day take on a mentor himself.

Of course, this wasn't the main point. The true significance was the special connection this mentor shared with Manfred, a fact that filled Glen with pride.

"Is this really necessary? Studying those books so intensely won't make much difference now," Glen remarked casually, his relaxed tone contrasting Alger's focused demeanor.

Without even looking up, Alger retorted, "You wouldn't understand. Your brain's never been sharp enough for this kind of thing. People who prefer swords and weapons can't appreciate the joys of reading."

"I've read plenty of books over the years," Glen grumbled, rolling his eyes. Reading had never been his forte; swords and weapons were more his style. But as the years passed, he had picked up a book or two.

Alger said, "What you read and what I read are completely different."

As the two exchanged barbs, Manfred arrived. Glen glanced around, eager to spot Vivian, but Alger noticed her first, his face lighting up. "Ms. Martin! I finally get to see you today!"
