"Sir Hector, Madam has arrived."
A man came into the factory's back yard, drawing Hector and Gideon's attention. His only purpose was to announce that Hector's wife had come.
Hector nodded. He told the man to escort his wife to his office and wait there, as Hector still had business with Gideon. The man obeyed and left the two men.
"I've seen the wastewater reservoirs of your factory. That's impressive enough," said Gideon.
"Just do what I suggested, it'll make your work easier."
"Of course, Lord Gideon."
He took his leave, which immediately shocked Hector. Hector offered Gideon the chance to meet his wife first, but Gideon declined. He reasoned that there was still much to do in the village, and he could not leave his team for too long.
Hector could not force him, but he insisted on escorting Gideon to the front gate. Gideon had no objection.
