Riz headed to the White Hall as soon as he exited the dining hall. Since Theodora is still in the mansion, he decides to leave his usual carriage for her use and walk his way there. He'll treat this walk as a light exercise to compensate for the daily exercise routine he skipped today.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the government complex and was smoothly escorted by the staff to the White Hall.
This time, the hall is sparse with people unlike during the meeting with construction companies. It is understandable since only ministers and their vices are allowed to attend this confidential meeting.
Right off the bat, he spotted Gerald, his minister of trade and industry in the hall.
"Gerald, how long have you arrived?" Riz greeted him casually as per usual. He never bothers to practice stiffening etiquette when interacting with his ministers.
