"Mr. Harold! Mr. Harold, the master is still in a meeting!" Bang- The study door swung open.
Harold took in the room full of company execs and cut straight to the chase, "Bro, what's going on?" All the executives turned their eyes to Gordon.
Gordon calmly said, "You can all leave now." "Yes, sir." The executives made their way out of Gordon's study in an orderly line.
Harold said, "You know we're just having a little spat. Why the sudden shift change?" "Why so worked up?" Gordon leaned back in his chair, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Didn't you say you didn't want to go to school with Sophie anymore?" "..." "The maid mentioned you didn't wake her up this morning, and you left without having breakfast with her. The driver also said you two didn't exchange a word in the car. I figured you weren't keen on going to school with her." "Bro, it's just a little argument..." "What kind of argument's so intense?" Gordon reclined in his chair, saying, "This is the first tin eighteen years." "I..." Harold hesitated, at a loss for words.

Back in his room, Harold was filled with an inexplicable agitation.
He lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep just feeling a heavy restlessness. "Sir, would you like sdinner?" "No!" The maid at the door voiced her "If you skip dinner and the Youdy finds out, the master be upset." will "Just leave it!" Harold frowned, his mood souring even more.
Why was he feeling like this, exactly? Was it just because he felt pressured by Sophie? No.
He knew it wasn't that.
Sfeelings were too complicated to put into words.
But his brother... his brother saw right through him.
