Micah scribbled his signature on the document and casually said, "You go ahead."


    "Yes, sir," Andrew replied, hurrying off to greet the guests.


    Just then, Rn came over, all excited. "Arya got to the Hillside Vi first with the three little girls and has been busy. Ms. James is on her way."


    "Got it." Micah''s face softened, and his tone turned gentle. "The kids mentionedst night they want to stay there tonight. Have Rodolfo take them over."


    "Already on it," Rn said, noticing Micah''s happy expression. "Thinking about heading back early tonight to be with Ms. James?"


    "No need," Micah''s face turned serious again. "We agreed not to bother her unless she reaches out."


    "Go check it out," Micah instructed. "The house has been empty for months. Who knows what might''ve gotten in-snakes, bugs, maybe even some wild animals. Take some folks to help out and see if they need anything."


    "On it," Rn said, heading off to handle it.


    Meanwhile, Andrew was leading Craig and his crew. From a distance, Craig called out warmly, "Micah, you''re a hard man to get a hold of!"


    "Duke Louis, you should''ve given me a heads-up beforeing to Newark. I would''ve picked you up at the airport," Micah said, putting down his pen and standing up to greet him. "Dropping by thepany is a nice surprise!" Craigughed. "I came on a whim to see you. Sorry for the sudden visit."


    "We''re friends; no need for formalities," Micah said, inviting him to sit. Chloe and two other secretaries were busy prepping coffee and snacks.


    Andrew and Craig''s attendants stood behind their bosses.


    "Micah,st time in Sunvale, I didn''t get to host you properly. This time, I brought some goodies for you," Craig said, signaling his attendants. They brought out two fancy silver cases, ced them on the coffee table, and carefully opened them. Inside was a stunning set of jewelry, clearly antique and very valuable.


    "This is a relic from a royal family member, my wife''s family heirloom. She never wore it and specifically asked me to bring it to you as an apology," Craig exined.


    He added, "This jewelry was auctioned for a hundred million dors twenty years ago. It''s even more valuable now. Plus, there''s a legend that whoever wears it will have a wonderful love life!"


    "A hundred million dors is still a lot today," Micah said, ncing at the jewelry. "I''m a guy; this isn''t really my thing. Seems like a waste to give it to me."


    "You can give it to your future wife," Craig suggested with a smile. "Or pass it down to your daughter. They''ll love it!"


    "Fair point," Micah nodded. "Thanks a lot!"


    "We''re friends; no need for thanks," Craig said, thrilled that Micah epted the gift. "Now, the reason I came this time..."


    Just then, Chloe brought in the coffee and snacks, making Craig pause.


    "The coffee here might not be as good as yours," Micah said politely. "Give it a try. If it''s not up to par, I''ll treat you to some wine." "Micah, you always know how to joke," Craig smiled, taking a sip of the coffee and ncing around.


    Micah got the hint and gestured for Chloe to lead the secretaries out.
