The maid hesitated. "Mr. Fermin Eaton is often busy withpany matters, so he''s rarely home."


    "Is he home today?"


    "Uh..."


    "What? Don''t tell me no one is at home."


    The maid stammered, "Mr. Fermin Eaton is home, but he''s busy with work. He might not be able to see you right now."


    Melody insisted, "Is this how you treat your guests? Go tell Mr. Fermin Eaton that if he doesn''te to see me, I''ll pack my things and leave immediately."

I''m happy, and Juan is happy." Juan shot him a nce, one that conveyed exactly how little he thought of Gand''s intelligence.
