Cold-blooded, ruthless, a decisive killer who supposedly murdered his own father and brother...
The man sounded like a heartless monster.
Yet here Jude was, calling him magnanimous.
Were the rumors wrong?
Or was Jude just too afraid to speak the truth?
"Then..."
Coralie paused, asking carefully, "If we actually did send him that 'boy toy' as a gift, would the Governor have liked it?"
Jude's mouth twitched. He pinched his own thigh hard and answered with absolute solemnity, "The Governor is a completely normal man. He is entirely normal in every respect!"
"Ah~"
Coralie instantly understood, awkwardly brushing a hand through her hair. "A misunderstanding. It was all a massive misunderstanding!"
Thank God she hadn't actually sent the guy in, or she would have been dead meat.
"Indeed."
Jude said with a polite smile, "The meeting is about to start, so I must head back. I can only escort you this far."
"Go ahead, you must be busy."
Coralie waved goodbye.
Once he was completely out of sight, the manager finally dared to speak. "Boss, did I mess up?"
"Let's just hope the Governor isn't the type to hold a grudge." Coralie muttered, letting out a soft sigh. "Let's go. To the bidding conference."
At this point.
The bidding conference was less than thirty minutes away.
If they left now, they would make it just in time.
—
Inside the lounge.
Jude stood by the sofa, attentively listening to Channing's orders.

No crematoriums are to be built in Caelus for the next three years.
Double the funding for the orphanage.
"Understood."
Jude noted every single instruction and closed his notebook. "Governor, it's time."
