Mr. Caleb stepped into the office, with his butler behind him. His face beams in astonishment. He engulfed his grandson in a deep hug before he finally released him.Placing two hands on Ryan's shoulder, He winked at the Butlers to give them some privacy. “Ryan, I am proud of you. I am happy with the way you handled everything today.
