“Yes, Sophie would be pleased,” his mother replied, glancing at the silhouettes on the bench before returning to her kitchen work.

Charlotte sat quietly, watching the sunset. She felt an unusual sense of calm. Leaning back, she felt something against her back. She turned and saw a small brass plaque attached to the bench. The plaque read:

May 20, 2019

    "Nathan, help me draft an agreement incorporating the terms I mentioned last time, plus one more: after three years, either party has the right to decide whether to renew the contract. If we have a child, the contract will automatically renew."Sebastian made the call to Nathan. In Sebastian's view, if Charlotte ended up pregnant and had a child, it would mean that he had accepted her, and naturally, he would want to continue their relationship."Understood, boss. Congratulations in advance." Nathan genuinely liked Charlotte as the president's wife; she was well-educated and talented."Oh, by the way, boss, I contacted the master art restorer you asked me to reach out to. The master has retired, but he recommended his top disciple. This disciple is very mysterious; I couldn't find out their gender, age, or nationality, but the works they've restored are excellent," Nathan reported truthfully."See if you can get this top disciple to help us restore the artefact.

    "Nathan, I think you need to come and see the progress made by the master's disciple. His disciple has recently sent over a lot of photos. We can't view the site, but the high-resolution photos are impressive. The disciple truly lives up to being the master's top student," Nathan reported on the recent work."If he doesn't want us to disturb him, then let's respect that," Sebastian said.

I'd like to take Charlotte on a vacation next week.""Sir, your schedule is fully booked," Nathan said, a bit troubled.Sebastian thought momentarily and asked, "Is there anything that can be postponed? Or can we compress the schedule?"Nathan looked at the itinerary carefully and responded, "A few meetings can be converted to phone calls, and some project progress meetings can be shortened. It won't be easy, but if we tighten things up, we should be able to free up a week.""Let's do that then," Sebastian said with satisfaction. "Thank you, Nathan."Nathan smiled slight
