The call was answered very soon.

Even at this hour, Rufus was sitting on the couch. Obviously, he didn’t go back to sleep after learning of the matter.

Beatrice was almost fifty years old, but she took great care of herself. When the call connected, she flashed a pleasant and polite smile at Rufus, giving off a sweet and elegant air.
