Dennis and I walked to the bedside and looked at the old man, Dennis spoke, "Grandpa Jenks, hello, I'm Dennis, I'm just now coming to visit you, it's really because something is bothering me and I can't leave, I hope you'll forgive me."
the Old Mr. Jenks shallow smile, some breathless, the maid put on his oxygen mask, breathing for a while, he removed the oxygen mask and spoke, "I'm already very happy that you can come."
Dennis and the Old Mr. Jenks chatted, mostly about things that had passed, and in a short while, the Old Mr. George closed his eyes somewhat wearily.
The housekeeper said, "Mr. George, Mr. Jenks may be tired this time, you go downstairs to rest for a while, the family has prepared cakes for you, you taste it!"
Dennis nodded and dragged me downstairs.
Before the people downstairs left, a woman saw us coming down and greeted us, saying to the housekeeper, "Wayne, how is Father? Is he better? Did he say he wanted to see us?"
The housekeeper shook her head slightly and spoke in a disciplined manner, "Mr. Jenks is fine, Erika is sorry that Mr. Jenks did not inform to see any of you."
"Why doesn't father want to see us? It's this time of the year, why doesn't Father want to see us?" The woman called Erika, who looked a little annoyed, complained a few words and walked away again.
I glanced at the others, and although I was surprised, I didn't ask more questions.
The butler took us inside another lounge, ordered some pastries and drinks to be brought in, and then left.
I looked at Dennis and couldn't help but say, "After seeing Grandpa Jenks, aren't we going back yet?"
"What's the rush, Mr. George's business is not done yet?" The voice that suddenly intruded made me freeze and look along, it was Brady whom I saw yesterday in the casino.
He was leaning against the doorframe with the document in his hand, still with a hangdog look and an immodest smile at the corner of his mouth, which always makes people feel very frivolous.
Dennis looked up at him, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything.
Brady walked in, put the document in his hand on the table, looked at Dennis and said, "Grandpa asked me to bring it to you, everything is written very clearly, if you are worried about any mistakes, you can call your lawyer to come over now and read it, and sign it after you have seen nothing wrong."
I took a look at the document, it was a contract, a contract letter from the Macau Chamber of foreign trade.
Dennis just glanced down at it and then signed it with little hesitation.
Brady raised his eyebrows, "You're quick!" After picking up the contract and looking at it, he looked at Dennis and said, "Well, there are no more questions, so I'll ask Mr. George for more guidance in the future."
Dennis nodded, his face serious, "Thank Grandpa Jenks for me, I will not fail him."
Brady nodded and spoke, "Mr. George is doing such a big business, is he planning to be a monopoly business in the future?"
