The assistant director followed Lila's gaze. It was warm inside the greenhouse, and the man had taken off his coat. His sweater looked shabby and worn, with frayed edges tied together with a few strands of thread. He wore a pair of black trousers that were so old they had turned pale from washing. His shoes were also unsuitable for winter.

He looked poor.

The assistant director was puzzled. "No idea. He's just some old man in the village."

"No one knows his name?" Lila frowned.

"I'll ask John. He's the one who handled the hiring," the assistant manager offered.

Lila nodded. "Thanks for the trouble."

She waited. But before John arrived, Matthew called out to her.

Lila walked over as a staff member handed her a face mask. She put it on and approached Matthew.

"Did you hurt yourself?" She frowned, noticing the blood on the back of his hand. Matthew shook his head. "It's nothing."
