Daniel observed as Maisie welcomed Graham with a smile. However, as the door closed behind them, his heart sank.

He restlessly paced back and forth, eventually reaching for his phone to call his subordinate. He couldn't contain his frustration and yelled as soon as the call was answered, "Why is Graham here?!"

His subordinate was taken aback, clueless about the situation.

In need of a moment to calm down, Daniel closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

"I asked, why is Graham staying in the apartment in Mange Square, right across from my house?" he asked with more composure.

The subordinate hesitated before speaking. "I... I'm not sure."

Daniel was frustrated. He hung up and awaited an update from his subordinate.

After a short while, he received a report. "Mr. Quimby, the Bayers don't own the apartment Mr. Bayer is staying at. He bought it after making his first million from venture capital. It's his personal property."

"Why did he choose this place, then?" Daniel questioned.

His subordinate found himself in a difficult position. "Mr. Quimby, it's a great location. We can't stop him from purchasing it."
