"I’ll wait for you to come back," Jolie said softly before hanging up the call.

The phone let out a soft beep, and the beautiful girl on the screen disappeared.

Gavin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flickering across his face. She ended the call without letting him say anything. But as he replayed her soft words about waiting for him, the irritation quickly faded.

"Mr. Chairman," the assistant immediately greeted with respect.

Wilfried waved his hand, signaling the assistant to leave the office.

Gavin set his pen down. "Dad, what brings you here?"
