“Mr. Nacht, something urgent came up.” Ben’s voice came from outside the door.
“Take your time. The children are in the courtyard.” Zachary snuffed out his cigarette and walked out.
“Alright,” Charlotte said, looking at him as he left.
Lupine ushered Zachary and Ben to the study and handed them a bottle of water each before excusing herself.
“What’s the matter?” Zachary asked impatiently.
“Sir Robert is working together with other shareholders to get Ms. Lindberg out of the Gymnasium Project. They have already asked the lawyer to draft a notice. They are waiting for you to sign it. Mr. Williams called just now to ask when is a good time for you to sign the document,” Ben reported, turning the laptop to Zachary, “This is the digital version.”
“Don’t bother,” Zachary said, his brows stitched, “I’ll look into this on Monday.”
“Sure,” Ben answered as he closed the laptop. “There’s something else.”
Zachary nodded, waiting for him to proceed.
“Bruce had already found Dr. Felch. He’s still in H City,” Ben said, looking at Zachary carefully before continuing, “I think it would be good to see him as soon as possible. We shouldn’t drag this out.”
“So this is the urgent matter you were talking about?” Zachary eyed him coldly.
“Dr. Felch’s going back to Phoenix City tonight. Bruce is doing everything he can to delay him,” Ben replied anxiously, “Dr. Felch is not feeling well, so we should really hurry before…”
“Alright,” Zachary cut him short, looking at his watch, “Where’s he?”
“He’s in the northern suburbs in H City. It will take about three hours for us to drive there.”
“We’ll leave after lunch.” Zachary wanted to spend more time with Charlotte and the children.
“But…”
“That’s not up for discussion,” Zachary replied, kicking Ben in the leg, “You’re getting nosy, aren’t you?”
Ben looked down and nodded in silence. He and Bruce were worried about Zachary, but Zachary did not seem concerned at all.
