At this moment.
Inside the office of Secretary Bates.
He was having a conversation with his subordinates.
Suddenly, Secretary Adelaide Linden hurried in.
Whispered something in Herman Bates' ear.
Herman Bates' expression was suddenly one of astonishment.
He waved his hand, ending the conversation early.
When the office was empty, Herman Bates asked, "Who initiated it? Was it Fabian Vincent?"
Adelaide Linden shook her head and said, "I heard from the Municipal Government staff that Secretary General Carter changed the itinerary last minute, arranging for Mayor Vincent to visit Starlight Night Market."
"How did Dirk Carter get involved with Starlight Night Market?"
Herman Bates murmured to himself.
Frowned.
He said, "Go get Minister Reid in here, quickly."
After Adelaide Linden hurried out.
Soon, a middle-aged woman pushed open Herman Bates' office door.
"Secretary Bates, you were looking for me?"
