Paul flipped open the invitation and saw the address on it. His smile stiffened, "Duke Hotel, isn’t that where the young lady works?"
Moses turned around, took the invitation from his hands, and looked it over seriously.
He had, of course, already known that Gan Yuan was employed at Duke Hotel. Now that Duke Locke had chosen to have his birthday banquet there, could it be... he was looking for an opportunity to target her?
At that thought, Moses’s pupils constricted.
Paul lifted his face, "You mean...?"
"I’m going to stay at Duke Hotel."
Paul’s tone was filled with apparent concern. Huangfu Jue was already extremely sensitive to Moses’s existence, and if they were to suddenly move into Duke Hotel now, Paul couldn’t predict what kind of reaction Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue would have.
"Is there a problem?" Moses asked.
No one could stop this man from doing what he wanted to do, including himself; at this moment, more words would be useless.
Meeting the man’s deep gaze, Paul had no choice but to swallow the words that had reached his lips.
"I... I’ll arrange it right away."
"That’s more like it!" Jessica, however, was brimming with excitement, "If you like her, you should fight to get her back. If it were me, I would have already competed with the Duke..."
At this point, Jessica leaned in mysteriously close to Moses.
"Sir, I have another method that could help you get Miss Gaia."
Moses turned coldly, "I’ve said... don’t touch her!"
"I... I was just joking, joking!" Jessica hurriedly put on a smile and took several steps back, "If there’s nothing else, I..."
Moses spoke firmly, "Find a way to blend into the hotel and ensure her safety."
"But..." Jessica wore an unwilling expression, "I’m only good at killing, send someone else!"
Moses watched her face without saying a word, yet his gaze carried an authority she could not refuse.
"Jedinka!" Paul reminded gently.
Jessica was one of Moses’s most capable assistants, known for her unruly personality and habitual lack of restraint. Moses was somewhat indulgent with her.
But Paul knew that compared to Moses, and even Gan Yuan, both he and Jessica were qualitatively different.
"Alright, alright!" Jessica pouted, "I’ll go!"
Though she said as much, her true compliance was not in doubt; she was just feeling indignant for Moses’s sake.
Grabbing her coat by one finger and slinging it over her shoulder, Jessica pulled open the door and walked out. Paul then spoke softly.
"Sir, don’t mind her. You know how Jessica always is."
Moses nodded slightly.
Among his numerous subordinates, most were extremely wary of him; Jessica was the only one who dared to joke around in his presence.
He valued Jessica so much, partly because of her exceptional skills and partly due to her personality. On occasion, the temper she displayed often reminded him of his Gaia.
"Where is the child now?"
"Gan Tang has been kept at the Royal Palace by the Queen, and his tutor along with his personal items have been brought there; it looks like he will be staying at the palace for a while."
Moses nodded slightly, took off his jacket, and handed it to Paul. He turned to walk towards his desk, flipped through some documents, then suddenly lifted his head again.
"Where is my photo album?"
Holding his coat, Paul said, "You... You told me to destroy it, didn’t you?"
