"How have you been lately?" she asked with a smile. "Is everything going smoothly?" "Receiving your call on such a beautiful morning, I’m in a great mood," the other person shared. "The weather in Aeridia has been nice lately, so I’m naturally in good spirits." Monica Usher’s eyes carried a gentle warmth. "That’s good." The person asked with concern, "How has CEO Kingston been? As busy as before?" "Yes." Monica’s voice was gentle. "Mr. Ed, both Justin Kingston and I are especially grateful for your past help to Kingston Group." "It’s been such a long time, no need to keep mentioning it. We’re all friends. It was just a small favor." "Mr. Ed, there’s something I would like to ask for your help with," Monica said, somewhat embarrassed. "What is it? Please, go ahead." She smiled and held her breath, "Could you move the meeting you’ve scheduled with Justin Kingston to the day after tomorrow?" The other person was clearly taken aback, "Did something happen?" Ed apologized, "But my schedule is already full this month, and I genuinely don’t have time the day after tomorrow." "I remember it’s your daughter’s 18th birthday on the 15th of this month," Monica had done her research. "No matter how busy you are, on such an important day, you will be by your daughter’s side, right?" "When I said I wasn’t free, I meant I’ll be with her," he said with a smile. "It’s just that her birthday is not meant to bother you. Justin Kingston is also a busy man; I can imagine his work schedule at any moment." "This wouldn’t be an inconvenience.

Ed couldn’t refuse and agreed, "Well, in that case, I’ll agree to it." "Thank you, Mr. Ed, for your understanding. I thank you on behalf of Justin Kingston." "Please, don’t prepare a gift for my daughter," the other person said mysteriously. "When the time comes, I’ll ask you and Justin Kingston for a favor. I’ve already thought of something you can help me with." "Us?" Monica was puzzled. "Yes, I’ll tell you then." "Alright." Monica smiled. Suddenly, she heard another voice on the other end of the phone, and before long, Mr. Ed said, "Monica, something came up here. I’ll hang up now. Please come the day after tomorrow." "You must come, and Justin Kingston is welcome too!" "Got it." The woman smiled gently, "Thank you." Ed was a Chinese-American, one of the few friends Justin Kingston had, who had offered help when Kingston Group needed it. He was one of the very few important figures in Justin’s life and also a successful business entrepreneur. Ed had been ill before, leading to a loss of feeling in his legs, so he now moved around in a wheelchair, his movements limited.
