243 Someone Looking for You

The driver from the Horton’s old house had been

waiting all day.”

He intended to just hand the delivery to Fiona and leave, but Mr. Horton insisted he deliver it personally

to Lewis!

So he ended up waiting all day long.

Fiona said Lewis usually came back at noon, yet today, of all days, he didn’t come back in time. He arrived by car at midnight the previous night, exhausted out of

his mind.

He even dozed off outside under the sun!

Rubbing his eyes, the driver handed the package to Lewis and immediately went to sleep in the room Fiona had arranged for him!

Lewis was slightly startled.

He looked down at the package in his hand but felt nothing.

The courier had made the delivery directly, so there

was no name written on it.

Lewis simply wondered what had been sent to the old family home…

He didn’t enter the bedroom with the package but went into his study and sent Tom a message. “Meeting.”

Busy with international affairs in the afternoon, he hadn’t dealt with company business.

That night, he was prepared to work overtime, keeping himself busy.

He didn’t want to leave himself any idle time for unfounded thoughts; only by keeping busy could he feel somewhat better.

It seemed he might avoid those troubling issues…

Lewis despised such behavior from himself.

Yet he couldn’t help but act this way.

After Tom called for an international meeting, five hours later, everyone was astonished.

It was 2 a.m. in the morning!
