The Man’s Decree

After Gary and his family were seated on the couch, Franklin served them coffee right away. He even shouted toward the bedroom, “Maria, Mr. Chance is here. Come down quickly.”

“Franklin, it’s all right. I’m sorry to have interrupted you on such short notice.”

Gary was embarrassed when he saw how welcoming Franklin was.

“Don’t be a stranger. After all, we haven’t seen each other for many years. Therefore, just make yourself at home. I have also made lunch reservations at a hotel so that we can have a wonderful meal together,” Franklin suggested as he poured some coffee for Gary.

“Maria, greet Mr. Chance,” Franklin reminded her.

“Mr. Chance, nice to meet you!” Maria called out insincerely. In fact, the contempt she had for them was written all over her face.
