Zane was alone with the chairman after Elder Gilbert had left a while ago. This was his first time stepping into Cassius Manor in over the past years.
Sitting across from Elder Lucas after such a long absence felt like a dream come true. However, Zane couldn't shake off the coldness that lurked beneath Elder Lucas's unreadable gaze fixed on the newspaper featuring business headlines.
Noah had been his only source of information regarding the chairman's well-being.
"Welcome home, Mr. Zane," Butler Jude greeted him personally.
Zane gave Jude a polite nod. "Butler Jude, how have you been?" he asked.
Butler Jude smiled warmly at the young man who had grown into a handsome yet distant figure compared to his younger self.
"I'm doing well, Chairman. Thank you for your support," Jude replied.
"I see you're doing a great job taking care of the Chairman here in the mansion. I appreciate your efforts and service," Zane said, causing Jude's smile to widen with pride.
