Just as Shire and Matthew were discussing further details, a secretary walked into the research department and approached Shire: "General, Mr. Dejoka wants you to go to the office, someone wants to see you!"
"Alright," Shire replied, "I'll be right there."
Meanwhile, he was puzzled, wondering who had such influence to arrange a meeting with him through Dejoka.
A friend?
A journalist?
Or someone else?
Shire didn't think much about it; he gave Matthew a few instructions and followed the secretary to the office building.
...
Entering the office, Shire saw a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a suit and tie, who looked wealthy.
The middle-aged man was talking with Dejoka. Upon seeing Shire in his military uniform, he hurriedly stood up to greet him, speaking excitedly, "You, you must be General Shire? It's an honor to meet you, General!"
Shire cast a puzzled look at Dejoka.
