Max, David’s assistant rushed toward David the moment he stepped into the reception that morning. It's been a week since David showed up at work so at breakfast that morning, he told Leonard that he was ready to resume work at Wells Empire.

Leonard had objected because David needed care but David had protested so his father had no choice but to allow him because he was not to stay long in the office.

David shook hands with Max and just when he was about to speak, the members of the board began to appear from different corners of the reception. While the men held bouquets, the women approached David with a box of cookies.
