Chapter 1612: an omen with legs, hands, and a mouth to run.

Butler Jen and William stared at each other with mild curiosity-though their reasons varied. Butler Jen was a little surprised by the big guy. Charles and Haines were considerably tall, but they both maintained a more proportionate physique. Charles might've gained a bit of weight, but he still wasn't as broad as this man.

William wasn't fat, but he was definitely a large man.

As for William, he gazed at Butler Jen because the man looked too thin-perhaps a little too small for his liking.

"I've never seen you here before," William frowned. "And why are you still in costume?"

Butler Jen smiled politely. "I came here in a hurry. I didn't think changing was necessary. If so, my apologies."

Normally, William Pierson would've immediately found something to nitpick. But Butler Jen's humble response left him momentarily speechless.

"Ahem!" William cleared his throat. "There's nothing to apologize for."

Butler Jen maintained his kind smile and stayed quiet as they waited for the lift.

DING!

As soon as the elevator arrived, Butler Jen stepped aside and lowered his head slightly. William, meanwhile, walked in without a care for the butler. But when Butler Jen stepped in and joined him, William raised an eyebrow.

"You do realize this lift isn't for general use?" he asked, clearly ready to scold the old butler now.

"The receptionist told me to use this one instead," Butler Jen replied, his tone still gentle and respectful. "But if it's not allowed, I'll step out and wait for the next one."

True to his word, Butler Jen made a move to leave. William frowned. The butler was stealing his thunder-and doing it kindly, too.

"Ahem! That's not what I meant," William said, clearing his throat again—this time unsure why.

Jen paused and looked back. "Are you
