Naylor arched an eyebrow, intrigued by what was unfolding.

"Sir, shall we invite Mr. Nine in?"

"There's no hurry."

Naylor shook his head, narrowing his eyes with a glint of cunning, "The Harrison family's doors must be entered by his own choice." "We'll wait."

Gilbert approached, and without looking up, Naylor gestured to the sofa across from him, "You're here? Have a seat." Gilbert sat down quietly as instructed.

Naylor looked up at him, a smirk playing on his lips, "So quiet today?"
