Chapter 1340 - 1342: Your Excellency Prime Minister, Young Master Shannon Has Arrived

The Prime Minister waved his hand, smiled helplessly, put down the tea cup, and stood up, "Dinner is ready, please, the two of you."

After being seated in the dining room, the Prime Minister didn’t rush to start the meal.

He put down the hot towel for cleaning his hands, with a gentle smile on his face, "Tonight, I have also invited one more guest. I hope you two don’t mind waiting for a while?"

"I just don’t know who His Excellency the Prime Minister has invited. Does Lucifer and I know them?"

The Prime Minister, hearing this, laughed aloud, and pointed at Sophie Sullivan through the air with his fingers, "Speaking of which, this guest happens to be an acquaintance of Miss Cecilia Branford."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary quickly came in, "Your Excellency, Young Master Shannon has arrived."

Lucifer: "..."

Sophie Sullivan: "..."

The two exchanged a glance; could it really be Thomas Shannon?

Sophie Sullivan recalled Thomas Shannon’s sarcastic tone and expression before she left. No wonder he asked in such a manner.

He really could hold his composure, clearly having received the invitation as well, yet deliberately arriving at a different time.

Leather shoes stepped on the floor, producing steady and rhythmic footsteps, approaching from afar.

In the next second, a tall, handsome, and distinguished man with his own aura stepped into the dining room.

He glanced around with cold eyes, his gaze briefly sweeping over Sophie Sullivan’s face without lingering.

Finally, his gaze settled on the Prime Minister’s face.

"Your Excellency," Thomas Shannon nodded lightly as a gesture.

The Prime Minister stood up and extended his hand, "Young Master Shannon honors us with his presence, I’m truly surprised. Miss Cecilia Branford just arrived a while ago. Please take a seat."

Thomas Shannon, maintaining an indifferent aura that warned others to keep their distance, sat down in front of the dining table.

Sitting directly opposite him was Sophie Sullivan.

Sophie Sullivan met his gaze, asking with her eyes why he was here.

However, Thomas Shannon merely glanced at her coldly, without offering much attention.

The Prime Minister said with a smile, "Since we’re all here, let’s begin the meal."

Under the dining table, Lucifer squeezed Sophie Sullivan’s hand, signaling her to remain calm.

Now that Thomas Shannon was here, it’s very likely related to that batch of arms.

Lucifer had some understanding of the K Group’s unmanned war machines. Currently, in the world, there are fewer than five countries in possession of unmanned war machine military equipment.

Country F, is one of the countries currently vying for possession.

Coincidentally, Thomas Shannon is the decision-maker of the K Group. If they can obtain his nod of approval, Country F’s chances of acquiring unmanned war machines would greatly increase.

Servants entered one by one, placing the sumptuous and exquisite dinner dishes on the dining table, then only a few servants remained standing by quietly for serving.

"Young Master Shannon, I wonder if the food tonight suits your taste?"

The facial color of Thomas Shannon wasn’t good, and the Prime Minister naturally understood why.

Last time he came accompanied by Sophie Sullivan, this time Sophie Sullivan was accompanied by Lucifer, and he came alone.

What happened between the two of them invites deep contemplation.

"It’s alright." Thomas Shannon lightly dropped the words, then put down the knife and fork, picked up the wine glass, and gently swirled it with casual leisure.

"Miss Cecilia Branford, I realize I haven’t seen your Uncle Andres for a period of time. I wonder how he’s doing recently?" The Prime Minister took a sip of wine, his gaze meaningfully watching her.

Sophie Sullivan sneered inwardly, it was indeed because of Andres.

Sophie Sullivan picked up the napkin, wiped the corner of her mouth, her appetite suddenly gone, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern. My uncle is well; he is currently traveling around the world."
