Lavaz Town, Dejoka's cottage.
Perhaps it was due to being accustomed to a simple life, or maybe he really enjoyed the harmony with his neighbors, Dejoka never moved to a larger house, despite his wealth.
However, the furniture in the house had been updated; Dejoka got rid of items he had previously been reluctant to discard and turned the cluttered room on the first floor into a cozy study.
It was already past eleven o'clock at night, and Dejoka was still balancing the books in the study.
Recently, business had expanded rapidly; new insurance, shipping services, and the military factory set up in the United States, as well as the expanded factory in the town, kept Dejoka, the nominal owner of the Bernard Group, extremely busy.
Camille came in with a cup of coffee and gently placed it on Dejoka's desk.
Usually, she would quietly leave at this time to avoid interrupting Dejoka's work, but this time, she stood by the desk for a moment.
