When Wilhelmina greeted Samuel warmly, he returned her greeting with the same level of enthusiasm. However, he passed right by her to greet Jack of his own accord before engaging him in a private discussion. Her complexion turned pale upon witnessing the scene.
She couldn't accept that the man she admired was excitedly chattering away with the man she despised the most. How could this be? Were her eyes playing tricks on her?
In her perspective, Jack was someone who didn't have the right to be acquainted with someone like Samuel. However, there was no denying that they appeared to be close based on how they interacted with one another.
Wilhelmina suddenly recalled that they were both students of Alnewgo University. Not only that, but they were also seniors in the School of Finance. Furthermore, Jack used to be the founder of Genesis Games. He also became a staff of Haven Net after his company was acquired by them.
The pieces of the puzzle fell into place for Wilhelmina. Since they were from the same university and had both achieved success—of course, Samuel's achievements far surpassed Jack's—it made sense for them to be acquainted with one another, especially since they were working in the same company now.
It would be even stranger if they didn't know each other.
But Wilhelmina was struck with another dilemma. Why would a look of respect cross Samuel's face occasionally when he interacted with Jack? Why would Samuel sometimes seem so humble in front of Jack?
It shouldn't be that way, especially when Samuel was supposed to be Jack's superior. Samuel might even have been the one to make the final decision to acquire Genesis Games.
The way Samuel treated Jack was completely different from how a superior should treat a subordinate with a certain degree of strictness in Wilhelmina's perspective. There were even times when Jack's demeanor appeared to be more relaxed and natural. In fact, he even seemed more noble, giving off the impression that his status was higher than Samuel's.
