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

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

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.

The courier had made the delivery directly, so there

was no name written on it.

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!

Lewis was normally very health-conscious, not wanting work reports after midnight, and he always
