"Young master. Your mother is here" Alfred knocked on the door of Edgar's office.
"Send her away," Edgar replied as he was not in the mood to deal with his mother. He had little to no information on the person taking the young girls and after putting it on hold to spend time with Alessandra there was a lot to be done by the end of the day along with his other work.
