The Mysterious Midnight Magnate

64: The Mysterious Package

As Mason sat at his desk in his office, engrossed in the day's tasks, his personal assistant, James, entered the room carrying a small package.

"Good morning, Mr. Hargraves. This just arrived for you," James announced, setting the package down on Mason's desk.

Mason glanced up from his work, his curiosity heightened.

"Do you know who it's from?" he inquired, eyeing the package with suspicion.

James shook his head.

"I'm not sure, sir. The dispatcher dropped it off and said it was for you," he replied, his brow furrowing slightly.

Mason's interest was further piqued by the mystery surrounding the package. He wasn't accustomed to receiving gifts, especially ones with no indication of the sender's identity.

"Odd," he muttered, reaching for the package.

As Mason began to unwrap the package, a sense of unease settled over him.

Who could possibly be sending him a gift, and why the secrecy? His fingers worked quickly, tearing away the wrapping paper until the contents within were revealed
