Inside the workspace, David stood facing the window with his back to Arthur, who stood a few meters away.
Feeling both confused and curious, Arthur refrained from speaking and patiently waited for David to initiate the conversation.
After a few minutes, David stayed silent.
However, Arthur patiently waited until he finally heard David's voice.
"Arthur, do you know why your mom hates me so much?" David suddenly said something that greatly surprised Arthur.
At first, he thought that the initial topic David was going to talk about was the promotion he received.
However, he did not expect at all that the subject would be something he had never thought of or anticipated: his mother, Elizabeth.
Although Arthur was taken aback, he maintained an unchanged and indifferent facial expression.
"I have no idea," he replied nonchalantly.
"My mother never mentioned anything about it, so I simply don't know."
Naturally, he was lying.
