章節 311: YOUR WORLD WILL FAIL - PART 4

He pushed himself up from the desk chair and picked up his gold fountain pen, placing it in his breast pocket. He gathered all the documents and set all the finished work in the outbox for Duncan to take to the post in the morning. Then he headed for the dining salon of the Stafford House.

The aroma of food led his nose down the hall. Whatever the cook had prepared made his mouth water, and he was eager to see Rose and share dinner with her after being locked in his office all day.
