"Give me a minute. I need to double-check." The front desk staff sounded unsure.

Lila nodded politely. "Sorry for the trouble."

The company leadership was mostly busy during Christma. Sometimes, they might not be in the office.

Lila nodded again with gratitude as she tightened her grip on the vacuum flask. After her parents' death, she had met with Gordon a few times. She first met him at the funeral. The second time, she met him at the Morgan residence. But these had happened many years ago.

In the few times they met, they rarely spoke to each other.
