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

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
