Dawn was barely breaking as Percival opened his eyes and reached for his phone to call Thomas.

Within minutes, Thomas arrived in his car and picked up the duo who had spent the night by the seaside.

"Where to, Percival?" Thomas did not ask why. He just did what he always did, taking care of what needed to be done.

Percival twirled a strand of Vivienne's hair. "To the office."

Vivienne yawned. "I'm heading back to crash."

After dropping Vivienne off, Thomas drove to the company.

In the president's office, someone was already waiting in silence.

Percival opened the door and greeted, "Boss."

The man in the chair turned around, a custom-made cane in hand. "Long time, no see."

Percival's lips curved into a half-smile as he ushered Micah to the couch and poured him a cup of coffee. "How have you been?"

Micah did not ask much but casually chatted with Percival. "Pretty good, just eating and sleeping. I've been so lazy that I hardly want to get up and exercise. My legs are paying the price."

Percival chuckled, responding briefly before asking, "Who's Rover?"

Micah's hand paused, a shadow flickering in his eyes, "Why do you ask?"

"Just curious," Percival replied nonchalantly.

Micah hesitated for a moment before setting down his coffee cup, "Percival, I know you don't trust anyone in the agency right now, but I can assure you, Rover is solid. He's someone I deeply respect, as did your mentor Lark and Vance, too."

Percival frowned subtly.
