In a private mansion.
A man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window was wrapped in a black robe, with a tall and erect figure, his stance like a pine tree. Just by a glimpse of his silhouette, could attract people's attention.
Outside the window, there was a large green lawn.
And two French plane trees blocking most of the sunlight.
He held a cup of coffee in his hand. The freshly brewed coffee emitted a wisp of white mist, which stuck to the lenses of his glasses on his nose, making his vision a bit blurry.
He took off his glasses and handed them to a maid beside him.
Footsteps sounded behind him.
Approaching him and then slowing down.
"Minister." A respectful voice sounded behind him.
