"Yes, how may I help you? I'm all ears."

"Thank you, Mr. Ken Israel. I thought I would meet you here yesterday and plead that you permit me to be the foster father of the chap who just recovered from a liver transplant. He is such a nice chap. I will retire very soon and need a son by my side."
At this point, there was a few seconds silence as Mr. Ken Israel was mute for some time. Then, he looked at the General Manager and gave him a searching look. Then looked at the International Chairman who was looking at his phone but all his attention was on the matter. Likewise, Mr. Ken Israel broke the silence and asked.
