The door was pushed open from the outside, and the person who came in was Luke with a troubled face. Seeing that Cheney was there, Luke turned his eyes slightly, rushed forward and respectfully said, "Mr. Cheney, you are here."
Cheney sat with his legs crossed. "Are you sure I can't be here?"
"No, no, no, Mrs. Fischer called me today and requested a private conversation with me about something urgent. I was hoping you would show up. It's a privilege to meet you here."
Cheney averted his gaze and continued to ignore him.
"Krista, you have guests, so I'll go for a walk first, and contact me later when you need me," Echo remarked as she stood up.
I nodded and Echo got up and left. I turned to Luke and said, "Mr. Luke, please sit down."
"No, no, no, Mrs. Krista, you have something to say. Just tell me. I'd better stand and listen."
