“Sir Chesire!” a voice filled with immense joy echoed from outside. Ben, the majordomo who had been

by Donovan’s side for over 40 years, hurriedly entered the living room. His face beamed with

unrestrained delight as he handed his phone to Donovan, his voice trembling with excitement.

“T-The contract…” Donovan stuttered. Then, he suddenly turned to Ben with a frown and said,

project? Isn’t this Zoe’s department? Why didn’t she inform me? What is happening?”
