"Sir Atlas?" Butler Jen paused in the living area when he saw Atlas seated on the couch alone.

Atlas lifted his eyes to Butler Jen, noticing that the butler was already in his pajamas, wearing a strange nightcap on his head.

I can wait for Miss Penny." Atlas shook his head. "Thank you, but you're also tired, Butler Jen. I'll wait for her to come."
