"CEO Arinze," he called out immediately, stepping forward with visible excitement. "It is such an honor to have you here."
He stretched out his hand, eager.
Too eager.
And just like that...
Everything clicked.
Chibuzor understood.
So much for keeping a low profile.
His expression cooled instantly.
All the calm he had maintained inside the hall… gone.
He wasn't happy.
Not at all.
He might not have cared much for the orientation itself, but being there, with her, had mattered.
It had felt… normal.
Simple.
And now?
That moment had been interrupted.
Dragged out into something unnecessary.
His gaze hardened slightly as he looked at the registrar.
And then...
He did absolutely nothing.
No handshake.
No greeting.
No acknowledgment.
Just a steady, unimpressed stare.
Like the man had personally ruined his day.
Or worse...
Like he had stolen something from him.
The registrar's hand remained hanging awkwardly in the air.
Seconds passed.
Painfully slow.
Awkward.
