The housekeeper came and greeted Edward.
"Edward, please come with me. Tim is waiting for you."
Edward nodded and took Cosette's hand as they followed the housekeeper.
In the study room on the second floor, Tim stood in front of a desk with a large piece of paper on it.
There was a knock on the door.
Tim put down his pen and called out, "Come in."
Cosette followed Edward into the study.
Although Tim was seventy, his pair of eyes were sharp and keen.
"Happy birthday, Tim." Edward greeted him.
"Welcome! It's not often I get to see you, Edward. It seems I have to have a birthday party to get you to come to visit!"
Edward laughed out loud, "You know I would be here within minutes if I knew you wanted to see me."
"Yeah, I know. I'm just kidding. Hah
