In a rush, Quintin arrived at the Shaws house. Mekhi, engrossed in business matters in the study, had the butler guide Quintin to the reception room.
An hour passed, and Quintins anxiety grew palpable.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he repeatedly glanced at his wristwatch.
The time approached eleven, yet Mekhi had not made an appearance. The Hudson Groups fate hung in the balance if the Simmons Group decided to act.
Sir, I implore you to remind him again. My case is exceedingly urgent! Quintin beseeched the butler earnestly.
The butler had already reminded Mekhi five or six times, but since Mekhis return the night before, his temper had been foul. A few more prompts from the butler, and he would surely get himself in trouble.
Timidly, the butler bowed and reassured Quintin.
Please wait a moment. Mr. Shaw will see you shortly, once he concludes his work.
Quintin found himself in a situation where he had no alternative but to wait patiently.
Yet another half-hour dragged on slowly.
At precisely half-past eleven, Mekhi descended the stairs at a casual pace.

Nathan had paused his business at the National Security Bureau. This was a rare occasion where Mekhi didnt wear his military uniform.
Dressed simply in a shirt and trousers, he appeared more approachable than usual.
May I inquire about the purpose of your visit today, Mr. Hudson?
Would you like to speak with my sister? Mekhi inquired.
Quintin glanced at his wristwatch again.
It was almost noon, so he skipped pleasantries and got straight to the point.
Mr. Shaw, Ive come to a decision. I wish to cancel the engagement between your sister and me.
Mekhis countenance turned dark, and he sounded cold.
Cancel the engagement?
Yes, Quintin replied cautiously, wiping away beads of sweat from his forehead.
Ill take responsibility for announcing the dissolution of our engagement and attribute it to my actions. No need to return the cash gift. Consider it compensation for any inconvenience the Shaw Group may endure due to our separation.
He continued to monitor the time on his watch, and he swiftly rose from his seat.
My mind is set, and I came here today to inform you of this. I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave.
