"Something came up, but it's been dealt with now." Gem Atkinson decided it was best not to tell the little miss about the fire at Mamet Manor just yet.
The little miss pouted and said, "You didn't take me with you."
"Weren't you going to pick up Clive and the others?"
"Who knew their flight would be delayed? Waiting here is so boring."
Gem Atkinson patted her little head, squatted down, and kissed her forehead, saying, "Where's Grandma? Why haven't I seen Grandma around?"
Early in the morning, Eleanor Spencer Atkinson had come with them to pick up the passengers.
"Grandma just made a call, it seemed to be to Mr. Mamet. Grandma sensed something was off in Mr. Mamet's voice and said he must be ill. So Grandma bought a ticket to Imperial Capital and left for there."
Mr. Mamet naturally refers to Julius Mamet.
Julius Mamet is ill?
