Was he attempting to win her favor? Unbelievable.Moving together, they approached the receptionist’s desk, and William began, “We have a reservation —”The receptionist’s eyes widened upon seeing Travis, and she quickly interjected, “Oh, yes, I’m aware.” Handing a ticket to William, she explained, “Just hand this to a waiter, and they’ll guide you to the designated room.”William accepted the ticket, a smile spreading across his face and was surprised to see it was the Empire Box.

Yet, as he was about to affix his signature, William’s voice erupted in a sudden outcry, “I always knew you were an imbecile!! Put that fu¢king pen down this instant!”Snatching both the pen and paper with an angry expression, William swiftly added his name before venting his anger at Travis. “Do you possess even an ounce of shame?!

As Mr. Rowlings entered the room, a collective wave of astonishment rippled through the gathered individuals. Rather than exuding his usual confidence, he appeared stricken with fear. Instead of acknowledging Travis, his enraged stare was directed unwaveringly at Mr. D, who met his gaze with evident confusion.“Are you intent on dismantling everything we’ve worked so hard to build, Desmond?! I could kill you right now for such a damned mistake!” Mr. Rowlings lashed out in a mixture of anger and frustration, landing a kick squarely on Mr. D’s leg.

He shot back, his response accompanied by a chuckle.With an air of aggression, Edwin advanced toward the desk and slammed his hand down, creating a resounding thud. "Do you think I'll let any of you get away with this?! This place is mine, and I won't allow you to snatch what belongs to me!"Devon's expression remained composed, his tone unshaken.
