Standing opposite the window of his bedroom, Ruediger cast his gaze on the surrounding scenery. He pressed the phone to his ear, listening to Edmund at the end of the line.
"Boss, Mr. Alvord visited us again. As usual, he brought up a business proposal. He implied he wanted to meet you though. Never give up, huh?"
A frown marred Ruediger's forehead upon hearing the name. Edmund was referring to Vincent, his younger brother.
This was not the first time Vincent approached Edmund, the current CEO of Edenia Avenue as well as Ruediger's proxy. The man—Edmund Knowles—never forgot to directly report such a matter to him.
"Yeah. Too stubborn," replied Ruediger curtly, his low tone expressing his displeasure.
Vincent didn't give up easily even though Edmund often rejected his proposal. The former also insinuated he wished to meet the mysterious chairman of Edenia Avenue, known as Mr. R[01].
