As soon as I opened the door, a man I didn't recognize was standing outside. He was dressed in a finely tailored suit and vest, tall and dignified, with a dark coat casually draped over one arm. He appeared to be in his early thirties, yet there was an air of deep, inscrutable authority about him... like an elder.

I didn't recall ever meeting this man, so I was momentarily taken aback. "Hello, who are you looking for?" "Hello." He nodded slightly, "I'm looking for Ike Taylor." "Ike?" My brain froze for a moment, then it clicked, and I asked with a smile, "You mean Ike?" "Yes." "And you are...?" "I'm his father, Herbert Taylor." "...Alright." His blunt manner of speaking instantly remindedof the few times Ike had mentioned his dad-calling him an old-fashioned guy. Herbert didn't rudely peer pastinto the house but maintained eye contact "Today is the Taylor family's dinner gathering. I've cto take him back with me." From what I knew, the Taylor family was one of the three most influential families in the area, alongside the Ford and Myers families. They were known for being both low-key and deeply connected.

I gave him a friendly smile, "Would you mind if I call Edith first, just to check in?" "Of course." After saying this, he stepped aside towards the elevator lobby to wait, givingspace to make my call.

Edith sounded annoyed, "Hand him the phone!" "...Alright." Feeling a blow-up brewing, I went over to Herbert. "Mr. Taylor, Edith wants to have a word with you." I hadn't even stepped away when I heard Edith start to go off on the other end. However, Herbert's tone was softer than when he'd spoken to me.

"I called before I cover, but you didn't answer." "Alright, my bad. I should've kept calling until you picked up." "Let's not get angry now." Dressed to the nines, but acting entirely whipped. I chuckled to myself and went back to scoop up Ike, who had just finished getting dressed, "Buddy, looks like you can't go to your uncle's company today." Originally, the location of our little shop was quite close to SZ Technology. We were having lunch-four dishes and a overly sympathetic towards

Ike peeked out and indeed spotted Herbert, his face lighting up with joy. He was about to dash over when he e lash suddenly stopped, turned back towith those big eyes of his, and said in a troubled tone, "But what about Uncle Gregory's soup? Uncle is so pitiful, often skipping lunch. If I don't deliver it, he'll be so hungry."

Such a little schemer. Playing the sympathy card for Gregory. The m content is on novelenglish.net! I pinched his soft cheek, "I'll deliver it, okay?" X
