In the study.

Ezekiel stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the light rain beginning to fall, his expression perfectly calm.

He only moved when a knock sounded at the door, turning around to face it.

"Come in."

By the time the door opened, he was already seated back at his desk.

Preston walked in, his eyes holding a hint of apprehension when he looked at Ezekiel, but he quickly gathered his courage and approached.

"Grandfather, I have something to discuss with you."

Ezekiel lifted his gaze, glancing at him without a word, acting as a silent permission.

Taking the cue, Preston sat down.

"Are you familiar with Nathaniel Jude?"

The name didn't seem foreign to Ezekiel.

"I am. What about him?"

"Well, I heard he has a project on his hands and is currently looking for partners. A friend of mine mentioned that he came back to shift his focus entirely to the domestic market. I think he's quite capable. We could actually try to secure this project; it might be a great opportunity."

Looking at Preston's eager face, Ezekiel studied him for a long moment before speaking. "You don't care about the Gardner family. What you want is this project."
