Chapter 132:

“Kallie,” Brent began, a note of regret coloring his tone as he met Kallie’s eyes. “I’m truly sorry for asking you to come here. Work has just overwhelmed me lately, and it’s a particularly hectic period.”

Kallie dismissed his concern with a wave of her hand. She typed her response on her phone: “I visited Jerome earlier. He seemed a little off, but it wasn’t anything alarming. Probably just the stress setting in. A bit of rest might be all he needs to bounce back.”

Seeing her understanding, Brent’s expression eased into a genuine smile, softening his typically sharp features.

“Thank you.”

They stepped into a private hospital room.

Kallie posed her question on her phone: “Mr. Hayes, was there something specific you needed to talk about?”

Brent outlined the situation succinctly. The Hayes Group had experienced a mishap in which a shipment of goods was damaged in transit. The complication was pinpointing whether the fault lay with their transport or the third-party company responsible for the port’s export duties.

Kallie furrowed her brow, puzzled. She expressed her bafflement on the phone: “I’m not sure how I can be of help with this.”

Brent shifted uncomfortably. “We’ve had a longstanding relationship with the client. The shipment was crucial to him, and now that it’s compromised, he’s contemplating severing ties with us. He has a particular fondness for antiques. I’ve spent days locating a piece he’s long desired, but now it’s damaged. You’re the only restorer I trust to handle this.”

Kallie was taken aback to learn that this was the problem for which Brent sought her assistance. She then typed her reply on her phone softly: “This is what I do. Why call it a favor?”
