They’d only met a few times, so Joshua was pleasantly surprised that such a busy man like Owen could remember him.

Suddenly coming face–to–face with his nightmare. Joshua was a bit flustered.

Previously, his impression of Owen was formed at banquets, where Owen seemed exceptionally aloof and detached. unapproachable, like a celestial being from outer space.

“Aren’t we going to eat?” Timely, Hailey interrupted Joshua’s endless chatter.
