The top management of the Planning Department, Manager Smith, picked up the phone nervously and woke Kingston who was deeply asleep with a phone call.
Kingston, who was still half-asleep, listened to Manager Smith recount what had happened. Finally, h e was shocked and fully awake.
"Assistant Yates, what did Director Ford mean by this? He sent these extremely private photos to us. Did he want us to publicize them? Director Ford... I have always heard Director Ford was extremely vicious to his enemies and competitors but was he also so vicious to...himself?"
Kingston laughed at his question, "Ha... yeah, you guys don't know Director Ford. Director Ford was not only a vicious man. He was also a lover."
What?
Did Manager Smith mishear him?
He dug his ears with all his might. He thought his ears must be blocked, and that was probably why he did not hear him properly.
"Yeah, Master Sebastian was a lover."
Manager Smith was speechless.
He and the tens of thousands of staff members
throughout the Ford Group knew Master Sebastian did not get involved with women. He was a self-restrained man. However, Assistant Yates said that Master Sebastian was a lover.
"Follow Master Sebastian’s orders. Post the photo of Master Sebastian and Madam on the company's official page," Kingston said calmly on this end.
Manger Smith stuttered, "Assistant Yates, are...are you sure? The Ford Group's official page was used to publicize important events or announcements, for example, who would be the next successor, or who was the new top management with an annual salary o f more than 100 million, or..."
"What could be more important than the news that the most powerful man in the Ford Group, Master Sebastian, was married and had a daughter?" Kingston cut off Manager Smith in the middle of his sentence.
Manager Smith said, "...Master Sebastian, is getting married?"
