章節 73: Jealousy

After the twins left, I took out the book I had written and placed it in an envelope. I then stood up and headed for the door. When I opened it, I experienced a sense of Déjà vu. The woman before me was once again raising her hands and was about to knock on the door, but this time, it was indeed Althea. She was startled to see me and took a few steps back, but then, realizing her retreat, took a few steps forward.

"Althea, I was just looking for you," I said, stepping back inside and signaling for Althea to come in.

"Do you need something, Excellency?" she asked.

"Yes. Send this envelope to the printing house" I said.

Althea took the large and heavy envelope and looked at it carefully. "What's inside this?" she asked.

"This book I've written and the information I need to provide to the printing house" I answered.

Although Althea was surprised by my response, she said nothing and simply replied, "I'll take care of it."
