Henry looked up, seemingly surprised, before he stood up. “She went to Seeas Corporation to handle

Ultimately, what came out of his mouth was, “Well, that’s good. I have something I want to discuss with you privately.”

Henry paused in his coffee brewing.

In a soft but firm voice, he said, “Not very good.”

Then, he served the coffee to Alfred and sat down opposite him.

Alfred struggled to quell his agitation and extinguished his cigarette.
