The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 148: Bad News

Mr. Walter said, his voice tinged with both admiration and curiosity. "That man has done so much for Enermig and Eclipsa Studios. He's practically a ghost, yet his influence is everywhere."Dolores nodded, her perfectly manicured nails tapping lightly on the table. "He's a mystery, that one. But he's been a godsend, especially with the financial support he's given us. I wonder why he keeps such a low profile."Emily forced a smile, pushing a piece of steak around her plate.
