Drover did not have an office, so he would usually stay at home. Nonetheless, he had a studio of his own, but there were not many staff members around. It would only be used for research and projects.
Now that he had signed a contract with Grant Corporation, he would perhaps mostly be in the studio these days.
Thinking of this, I went straight to his studio.
It was some distance away from the city center, and I parked my car behind the manor and walked toward the door.
The manor was incredibly large and looked very stylish.
I thought Drover's studio would be a small unit, but I did not expect it to be so lavish.
I looked around, and there was a phone on the right side of the door. This was probably used to notify the people inside if there were guests, so I stepped forward and picked up the phone. After a short beep, a sweet voice sounded in my ear. "Hello, may I ask where you're visiting from?"
"Hello. I'm Wanda from Grant Corporation, and I'm here to deliver documents to Mr. Drover.”
"Alright. Please hold."
The phone went silent for a while, and after some time, that same voice sounded once more. "Please come in, Miss Lane."
As soon as she said this, the gate of the manor slowly opened up.
I placed the phone down and walked inside. Compared to the overgrown bushes outside, there were hundreds of flowers in this manor. The scent of flowers was
lingering around my nose. It made me feel more carefree and relaxed.
The nervousness in my heart was relieved almost all at once. I heaved a sigh before looking around with piqued interest.
Although the manor was large, there was only a single villa, which was divided into upper and lower floors. It had a European style and was very grand.
As soon as I walked to the door, the door opened with a sound. After I entered, the door behind me closed automatically.
The manor was unique, but the thing that caught my eye was the front desk that companies generally would have as the settings looked quite tech-centered. "Miss Lane." It was the voice from earlier. Then, I saw a lady walking toward me.
