Chapitre 287: Chapter 284: Competition I

"You seem bothered." Charlton told Serena as he approached her. He just returned to the control room, after giving instructions to the band members. 

Serena shook her head and smiled. She herself could not understand why she's letting Emily affect her so. "How have you been these days? How did your presentation in the house of lords go?"

Charlton grinned, "It went better than expected. The king seems to show me some favor."

"That's good. Then, when shall the Bell-Daniel Telephone company operating? Soon I expect?"

"In fact, our ducal mansion already has one. The company is already operating, just that not a lot of people knows about it yet. A public demonstration will be scheduled soon, though I won't be able to attend it, as I need to go back to Suffox on the 1st week of August."

"That's already next week… It's sad that we're not able to meet much, nor even go beyond here these days. I will miss you so." Serena lamented as she sighed.
