Scott wondered why did it suddenly feel so chilly?

Paul’s presence was entirely unexpected. His grandfather, Bradley Jefferson, and Samuel had been close friends in their youth. They had built their fortunes side by side before ultimately choosing separate paths –one in business, the other in politics.

Both men achieved the heights of their respective fields. Over the years, the Jeffersons and the Landons remained in contact. Nonetheless, the Landons, who were famously low–profile, didn’t often host gatherings.
