"Okay. Anyway, I kept you waiting outside... I waited for you in vain, so I handled urgent affairs first before coming back."
"Oh, really? I didn't see you coming back."
"It's because you went in and out of the first floor, while I went in and out of the second floor. Do you think there is only one door in this spacious study?"
There were a few more doors, as he said, but Ober didn't believe it at all.
Not only around Eckart's desk, but anywhere in his study, Ober could not find any evidence of his bustling movement in a short time. He smelled a rat because Eckart first pointed out he came late and that Kloud abruptly interrupted them.
Ober thought that Eckart had been blatantly watching his actions while sitting here in his study.
He must have instructed the servant something in advance, waiting for Ober to go back in a fit of anger until his patience ran out. And then right at the moment he turned, Eckart called him to his study.
"So, why did you call me?"
