“I came to visit Linda. I was afraid that later when more family members arrived, it would be inconvenient for me to come,” Michael said with a forced smile.

Everyone knew that Albert, the butler of the Wilder family’s residence, was someone who had stood by Linda through thick and thin.

Years ago,

he was the company’s administrative secretary, managing all sorts of company affairs. After retirement, he came to work at the Wilder family’s residence.

Though it seemed he had stepped back from the company, anyone who wanted to see Linda still had to get past Albert.

His status was unquestionable.

Michael did not dare to be disrespectful.

Albert did not take the gifts, but said, “Thank you, Mr. Hall, but right now Miss Jessica and Mr. Green have returned. The Wilder and Hall families are still business partners recently. It’s a bit early to deliver your gifts. Other business partners might be upset.”

Michael looked down at all the gifts at his feet.

“That was for Jessica. These are for Linda. Different ages need different supplements. These were just shipped from Hesterfield.”

“My mother–in–law is well taken care of. She doesn’t look that old to be honest. It’s better not to say such things in front of her, Mr. Hall.” After a pause, Chris added, ” Actually, I think what Albert said makes sense. We’re all business partners. Coming now might make others think you’re being too eager. How about you wait another couple of days?”

“Albert, may I speak to Chris alone for a moment?” Michael kept a polite attitude but clearly was uncomfortable with Albert.

Albert looked at Chris.
