Howard Geoffrey asked, "Did Andrew go to bed early?"
"Yeah, I think he'll wake up again around midnight."
Howard Geoffrey let Rebecca Quentin help him loosen his tie, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "In this business circle, it's impossible to avoid social engagements."
