Then I looked at other places. Behind the desk was a mahogany bookshelf, but there weren't many books on it, only a few scattered around, but there were many decorative items.
It's obvious at a glance, nothing special, but why aren't there any books in the study? What's the point of putting these useless ornaments there?
