After Zachary signed the last document, he drawled, “Go.”
“Yes.” Ben quickly did as told.
Right then, Bruce showed up and announced excitedly, “Ms. Lindberg has moved into Northridge. Morgan arrived first with the kids and had been busy ever since. Ms. Lindberg is on the way there.”
“Mm.” Zachary promptly relaxed at the news. His tone turned gentle as he said, “The kids told me last night that they’ll be spending the night there today. Tell Marino to give them a ride there.”
“Yes, I’ve informed Marino about that.” Sensing Zachary’s delight, Bruce beamed and asked, “Should you head back home earlier today to keep Ms. Lindberg company—”
“No need,” Zachary interjected, his expression turning downcast. “We’ve agreed to stay out of each other’s way.”
“Then…”
“Head over to check the villa,” Zachary instructed. “It has been empty for a few months, so some pests might’ve built their nest there. There might also be some wild animals or something inside. The women are afraid of stuff like that, so bring some men along to deal with that. See if they need any help.”
“Got it, I’ll get to it right away!” Bruce replied and got to work immediately.
After he disappeared out of sight, Ben led Robert and his subordinates in. Robert boomed out from afar, “Zachary, it’s hard to meet you in person!”
“Why didn’t you inform me prior to your arrival, Sir Robert? I could’ve picked you up from the airport.” Zachary rose to his feet and greeted the old man. “What a surprise to see you in my company!”
Robert threw his head back and guffawed out loud. “I decided to visit on a whim. Sorry for the sudden visit.”
“It’s fine. Have a seat,” Zachary answered politely.
Lucy and the other two secretaries busied themselves with preparing coffee and snacks for the guests.
