310 Personal Attendant

Michael thought that the Bartholomew Corporation would stir trouble when he explained his inability to fulfill the contract for a while and the problems that came with it. However, the shop manager merely called Helen Ascaln, who seemed to have already been informed about his situation.

["You won't be able to provide blueprints for a few months. That's what you were going to tell me, weren't you?"] Helen Ascaln asked Michael seconds after their holographic video call began, not bothering to small talk.

She didn't seem angry, or upset, which surprised Michael a little. He expected Helen Ascaln to throw a tantrum because they would face a scarcity of blueprints for several months just after Michael's investments started. 

'She is really good at controlling her emotions. As expected from an Executive Director,' Michael thought, while faintly nodding toward Helen Ascaln.
