“Wait a moment!” Walter called her back at once.

Halting in her tracks, Josephine dropped her hold on Kai.

“I apologize for my mismanagement that a server barged in, Mr. Grange. I’ll be sure to give you an explanation later.”

William was sweating bullets, afraid that Walter would fly into a rage.
