As Ivan looked at the man, he was lost in thought.

‘It’s a rare sight to see Mr.

Sullivan shut all his blinders and trap himself in such a dark environment.

What’s going on with him?’

“What is it?” Victor asked abruptly, interrupting Ivan’s thoughts.

Now that Victor had awakened, he sat upright and glanced at Ivan.

“Sir, it’s almost twelve noon.

There’s only half an hour left before your lunch meeting with Mr.

Flecher of the Foyal Group,” said Ivan.

“Okay, get the car ready.” As soon as Victor finished speaking, the curtains slowly pulled up.

The dazzling sunshine peered through the windows, falling onto his shoulder, and dispersing the coldness from his body.

The shiny black Maybach pulled to a steady stop outside the Crown Club.

The doorman just about fell over himself to open the car door for Victor.

Since his last visit here, in which he’d revealed his identity, the entire staff of the club had memorized his license plate.

They were so terrified of accidently neglecting him that they wanted to know he had arrived before he even set foot in the door.

“Mr.

Sullivan,” the manager greeted him with a respectful bow.

He’d received word of him coming that morning and had prepared himself.

Victor didn’t immediately get out the car.

He took his time fastening the cuffs and putting on his jacket.

When he did step out the car, he was silent and brooding.

He strode into the club, closely followed by Ivan and the manager.

As they approached the elevator, the manager nodded minutely to one of the employees, signaling them to call the elevator.

The employee pressed one of the buttons and then hurried away.

“Mr.

Sullivan, Mr.

Flecher from Foyal Group is waiting for you” the manager said.

Victor didn’t immediately respond.

Silence fell around the three men and then finally, the elevator arrived.

Only then did Victor nod to what the manager had said and stepped in.

The manager pushed a button that took them straight to the western restaurant on the third floor.

They stepped out the elevator and were shown towards a private room by one of the waiters.

The waiter stood aside respectfully and pushed the door to the room open for them.

The sounds of voices rose as soon as the door was opened.

Victor could hear the clear sounds of conversation.

Wanting to know more, he stepped quietly into the room.

“Are you tired? If you are, I’m sure I could ask Garry to arrange a guest room for you.

There are plenty upstairs.

You could go and take a nap while I attend to business, and I could call you when I’m finished, okay?” the man said in concern to the woman sitting beside him,

“Alright, that sounds nice.

Thank you.

I must admit, I am feeling a little tired.

And anyway, what use am I in your business discussion?” the woman said with a yawn.

“I’ll have you know it’s your fault I’m tired.

I would have had a decent rest if it wasn’t for you dragging me out so early in the morning to go shopping for baby goods.

I was sleeping so soundly.”

“I guess I got a little overexcited when I heard our baby’s heartbeat… And I mean, we have to get things sorted out at some stage.” The man smiled at the woman with all the love and affection in the world.

“I’m only three months along.

I’ve still got another six to go.

There is no reason to rush; we still have plenty of time.

Also, don’t you think we bought way too many clothes? Babies grow fast you know.

Before you know it, the little one is going to outgrow everything.

I don’t even think our baby is going to fit into half of the things we’ve bought,” the woman complained with a pout.

The man reached out and gently took hold of the woman’s shoulder.

He gave her a comforting squeeze, then leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

“I’ll admit, it was probably a bit of an oversight on my part.

Just go take a nap, okay?”
