Chapter 811
Shaun was arriving ?
Gilbert raised an eyebrow , culous to finally see who this Sham really was .
Meanwhile , Halsey was still in the lobby of the private club , talking on the phone with Riley .
“ Lincoln Enterprise has been hit with a lot of negative press lately Riley explained . “ Mr. Payne refuses to meet with us . And since he’s playing here at the private club today , there’s no way he’ll see us . ”
“ Is there really no way to get in touch with Mr. Payne ? ” Halsey asked .
“ I can’t think of anything right now . ”
“ Alright . I’ll keep trying to figure something out . ”
After hanging up , Halsey furrowed her brow , determined . She had to meet William today , no matter what ..
Just then , with a soft roar of an engine , a luxury car pulled up to the club’s entrance . The security guards immediately stepped forward to greet the arrival .
Who was it ?
The two receptionists nearby whispered eagerly .
“ Who is it ? Why the commotion ? ”
“ Don’t you know ? It’s Shaun Lane from GM Tech ! ”
“ No way ! Mr. Lane , the mysterious , low – profile rising star of the business world ? ”
“ Yeah , I checked backstage earlier . Today , Mr. Payne , Mr. Lane , and Mr. Greenwood are all here to play golf . Mr. Payne and Mr. Greenwood are already inside , just waiting on Mr. Lane . ”
Shaun Lane ?
Halsey wasn’t involved in the business world , but she had heard the socialites around her talk about this new business sensation . To them , he was the dream guy .
She never expected to run into this legendary man here .
A black – clad security guard opened the rear door of the car , and a tall , noble figure stepped out , immediately capturing everyone’s attention .
“ Wow ! ”
The two receptionists gasped , eyes sparkling with admiration .
“ He’s so tall ! Look at those legs ! ”
“ Great figure , broad shoulders , slim back … He’s like an international model ! ”
“ But … Why does he have a mask on his face ? ”
Halsey stared at Shaun , her clear , bright eyes pausing for a moment .
Him … ?
It was the same man she had two brief encounters with before .
But wasn’t he a cab driver ?
Now he was the business magnate , Shaun Lane ?

Shaun stood before her today in a perfectly tailored black sult . His broad shoulders and narrow waist made him a natural for the clothes , a striking figure whose mere presence drew every eye in the room .
“He wore a delicate black mask with intricate cutouts , hiding his face . Only a pair of cold , clear eyes peeked out , calm and unreadable , adding an air of mysterious chill that only heightened his aura as a rising , star .
Halsey’s gaze lingered on him . He looked incredible in a suit – hands down , the best she had ever seen on a man .
Dwight never wore suits . He looked great in shirts , just like Shaun
Lost in thought , Halsey barely noticed Shaun striding into the lobby with long , confident steps . The club manager and William’s assistant were waiting .
“ Mr. Lane , Mr. Payne has been expecting you . Please , this way . ”
Shaun nodded once . “ Alright . ”
He strode off .
Halsey blinked , shaking herself back to reality . She wasn’t sure why , but seeing Shaun always made her think of Dwight . There was something about Shaun that reminded her of him .
Quickly , she stepped forward . “ Mr. Lane , hello . ”
Shaun stopped and turned to face her .
Halsey’s eyes shone bright with excitement . Seeing Shaun here made her feel hopeful , especially since she was still blocked from meeting William .
“ Do you remember me ? We’ve met twice before . Last time , you were driving a cab and even helped me get rid of someone bothering me , ” she said .
