It wasn't until Olivia Parker closed the door and left, her footsteps fading away, that Kasper Edith snapped back to reality.
Glancing around, he noticed his coat on the sofa and walked over to retrieve his phone.
The phone showed several missed calls, some of which were from Oliver Palmer.
Slumping onto the sofa in a somewhat dejected manner, Kasper Edith raised his fingers, running them through his hair, trying hard to recall what happened last night, but nothing came to mind.
He only remembered saying goodbye to Olivia Parker before leaving. When he returned, what he did... His mind was completely blank.
Reaching into his pocket, he took out the crystal ball, gently stroking its surface; he had not tried again.
Such an attempt yesterday was too risky. Another mishap could lead to bigger troubles.
Picking up the phone, he dialed Oliver Palmer's number.
"Mr. Edith, where are you?"
Oliver Palmer's voice carried a hint of urgency.
"What happened?" Kasper Edith asked.
