He could not even pay attention to what Vicky was saying and struggled to take his eyes off her. "Miss Packman? She went outside to answer a call. She'll be back soon," said Director Hachett as he then wiped off the drool on his lips. "Why don't you wait here for a while? My name is Jason Hachett, founder of Hachett Group.

What can I do now?” Don responded to the man's voice in dispense and suspense as he vividly tried to remember what he was here for. “And what are you waiting? Follow her!
