I stood where I was with the documents in my hand as I looked at Benson in bewilderment.” Mr. Layton, is there anything else I can do for you?”

He gazed at me and asked with a grin. “Max, I heard that you bought a present for Camille?”

Before I could explain, he went on and offered some comforting words. “I have to admit that I spoiled her, but when it comes to gifts, it’s the thought that counts. The gift’s value doesn’t matter, as long as you bought it with her in mind.
