MEETING WITH KEYHOLDER

As the appointed time approached, Benjamin assisted Alexander in dressing, selecting an elegant yet authoritative outfit that conveyed both respect and power. Samuel, ever the diligent sex ****, ensured that Alexander's grooming was immaculate, while the other slaves, including Daniel, remained on standby to attend to any last-minute needs.

At precisely four o'clock, Alexander arrived at the Keyholder's residence, a grand and imposing mansion befitting the man's status. A servant led him to an ornate sitting room where the Keyholder awaited, a delicate tea set arranged on a low table between them.

"Ah, Alexander," the Keyholder greeted warmly, rising to shake his hand. "Thank you for joining me. Please, sit."

Alexander took his seat, his posture confident and poised. "Thank you for the invitation," he replied. "It's an honor to be here."

The Keyholder smiled, pouring tea for them both. "I've been hearing quite a bit about your progress at Thornwood Estate. Your methods, while unconventional, have certainly been effective. I wanted to discuss how you see your role evolving within our society."

As they sipped their tea, the conversation flowed, touching on various aspects of Alexander's work, his ambitions, and the broader goals of their community. The Keyholder's approval was clear, and Alexander felt a surge of pride and determination.
