The man dressed in the gray overcoat was tall, handsome, and looked put together. He gave off an air of sophistication and virtue.

When he entered the room, everyone felt an air of authority around him. It made people tread carefully in his presence.

Jonathan paused for a moment after hearing the assistant’s question. His eyes glanced at the poster of Maurice hanging outside of the airport.

“I wonder… is that Maurice?” he murmured bitterly to himself. His stoic face was laced with bitterness.

“Mr. Bowman?” the assistant addressed him tentatively.
