Micah's face softened, and his tone turned gentle. "The kids mentioned last night they want to stay there tonight. Have Rodolfo take them over." "Already on it," Rylan 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 swild animals. Take sfolks to help out and see if they need anything." "On it," Rylan 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 givena heads-up before coming 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 the company is a nice surprise!" Craig laughed. "I con 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, last tin Sunvale, I didn't get to host you properly. This time, I brought sgoodies for you," Craig said, signaling his attendants. They brought out two fancy silver cases, placed them on the coffee table, and carefully opened them. Inside was a stunning set of jewelry, clearly antique and very valuable.

He added, "This jewelry was auctioned for a hundred million dollars 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 dollars is still a lot today," Micah said, glancing 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," m Craig said, thrilled that Micaho accepted the gift. "Now, the reason I cthis time..."
Just then, Chloe brought in the coffee and snacks, making Crag pause.
"The coffee here might not be as good as yours," Micah said politely. "Give it a try. If it's not @ tæpar, I'l' treat you to swine." "Micah, you always know how to joke," Craig smiled, taking a sip of the coffee and glancing around. Micah got the hint and gestured for Chloe to lead the secretaries out.
