章 41: Preparations to depart

Monday morning, Chris went to work with a smile. He arrived at his office in the L Corporation headquarters with such a good mood, that everyone wondered whether he was going on vacation instead on a journey to negotiate prices and conditions of their import.

Morgan arrived at the designated time, eight o'clock. He was precise, just on time, and he found a radiant boss. Differently from everyone else, he could guess what was going on. But he did not comment; it was simply too dangerous to inquire or say ironic words.

Even though it was funny: one of the most powerful men in the country, wrapped around a girl's little finger. Extremely funny, even more when that girl was May Thorne, the cold and unfeeling ice princess.
