William arrived at Star D Entertainment, a venue that combines a hotel and restaurant into one. This location is widely known for its luxury and excellent service. Upon entering the hotel, William felt his body getting a little sweaty. It felt like a mixture of nervousness and palpitations. 

 

Although Evan said this was still part of his grandfather's business, he was still a stranger here. William gazed around him in awe. The luxurious and elegant interior of the hotel, the lights that illuminated every corner of the room perfectly, and the distinctive smell of the hotel made him feel comfortable. He could feel the warmth and hospitality offered by this hotel from the first time he entered it.

"Hey, wait!" shouted one of the officers who tried to restrain William. The officer's eyes rounded, surprised at William's shabby and sweaty appearance. His appearance was far different from the usual guests who came to Star D Entertainment, who were generally well-groomed and elegant.

"What table is it, Sir?" the clerk asked politely. His voice was soft, but clearly showed confusion. He wasn't sure how to deal with this situation. As a concierge at a star hotel, he was used to serving guests who looked luxurious and classy. However, this time he was faced with a guest whose appearance was far from his expectations.

"What?" William looked confused by the question. He felt uncomfortable with the officer's puzzled look. However, he understood that his current appearance might not be up to the standards of this hotel. He tried to remain calm and answered the clerk's question as best he could.

"What table number did you book, Sir?" the clerk repeated, this time in a firmer tone. His eyes looked at William questioningly. He tried to urge William to answer, while still maintaining his professional demeanor as a five-star hotel concierge.

"I didn't book a table," William answered honestly. Evan had simply told him to come here to meet Sean Montgomerry.

"Why did you come here, then?" the clerk asked. He had to know the reason for William's visit.

"I need to see Sean Montgomery," William replied.

Hearing Sean's name, the officer was shocked. Sean Montgomery was an important person, and it was highly unlikely to meet with just anyone. Moreover, William's current appearance was far from the standard of guests that Sean usually interacted with. The officer took a closer look at William. He noticed William's shabby and sweaty appearance. He wondered what exactly William's purpose was for coming here, and what his relationship with Sean Montgomery was.

Despite his surprise, the officer tried to contain his anger. He maintained his polite and professional demeanor, even though in his heart he wanted to kick William out of this place.

"Maybe you have the wrong person, Sir. It must be another Sean," the officer said, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation. Maybe William was mistaken and should be looking for another Sean, not Sean Montgomery the boss.

However, William stood his ground. "I do want to see him here," he replied in a firm voice. He was unfazed by the officer's attempt to change the subject. He remained convinced that the Sean Montgomery he was looking for was the same person.

"No, you can't. All guests who come here must make an appointment first and Sean Montgomery has no report today that he will meet guests," said the clerk named Jack, firmly. He tried to explain the hotel rules to William, hoping that the man could understand the situation.

Just then, another presence appeared. A VIP guest, Roseline, entered the room. Roseline was known as an influential and tasteful person. Her appearance was always elegant and eye-catching.

"Sorry, I thought this was an elite place. Why would someone like this be here?" said Roseline, looking at William with an incredulous expression. She was astonished to see a shabby and sweaty man in a place that should only be inhabited by classy people.

Jack immediately apologized to Roseline. "Please forgive us, ma'am. I'll handle this," he said politely. He tried to maintain his composure and professionalism, even though the situation was getting difficult.

Jack turned towards William, preparing to settle the matter.

"This is a fancy place, don't let just any random person in!" scolded Roseline in a high tone. She was annoyed by William's presence, which she felt was not in line with Star D Entertainment's standards.

"I'll take care of this." Jack tried to calm down the heated atmosphere. He knew that he had to act quickly for Roseline's comfort.

Suddenly, Albert, another guest who also had VIP status, appeared and met Roseline. "What's going on?" asked Albert with a puzzled expression. He was surprised to see the unpleasant atmosphere.

Roseline looked at William with a cynical look. "There's a bad smell here," said Roseline, trying to patronize William. She was annoyed by the man's presence and hoped that the officers would take immediate action.

The situation was getting heated. Jack felt pressured, he had to solve this problem immediately.

Albert looked at Jack with a sharp gaze. "What are you waiting for?" he asked in a fairly loud tone. He was impatient with the situation and asked Jack to take action immediately.

Jack understood what Albert meant. He turned to William and pleaded, "Sir, I beg you to leave, don't make a mess here." He hoped William would understand and comply with his request.

However, William stood his ground. "But, I really do have an appointment with Sean Montgomery," he said.

Hearing William's words, Albert and Roseline couldn't help but laugh. They knew very well who Sean Montgomery was and how unlikely it was that someone like William could have an appointment with Sean.

However, William was not affected by their laughter. He still said he would see Sean. After all, the reason William looked like this was because he didn't want his other friends to know about William's new status.

Jack once again pleaded with William in an increasingly firm tone. "Please, come out before I have to act violently." His eyes looked at William with hope, hoping that the man could understand the situation and leave the place immediately.

Meanwhile, Roseline, with a suspicious look on her face, added her scathing comment. "He's just a con artist, you should be more careful!" she exclaimed. She tried to convince Jack and the other guests that William was just an imposter trying to ruin the reputation of their venue.

The situation was getting tense. Jack felt pressured.

William let out a long sigh. In front of everyone else, he picked up his phone and started calling Evan who he had asked to leave.

"I was asked to meet Sean, but everyone here is kicking me out. Do something!" William said to Evan.

Evan felt angry. "How rude of them!" he grumbled in a high tone. "I'll take care of it!"

    "Wait!" William had a better idea. "Instead of you coming over, just get Sean Montgomery over here."Evan was surprised. However, he quickly agreed to his master's words. "Fine, I'll ask Sean to meet you."Roseline and Albert who heard William's words laughed quite loudly. What the hell was this? What kind of drama was it until a hobo dared to ask Sean Moon to meet him?"Jack, you should get rid of this man immediately!" Albert called out to the Star D employee.Jack nodded.Roseline added, "Hurry up, send him away before the other guests arrive. It's a good thing I was patient today, so I didn't immediately call security to drag him out. Next time, if there's another important guest, you'll definitely be in trouble."Jack again could only nod, hearing this advice from Roseline. Then, he turned to William. "Sir, please come out. I beg you, don't trouble me for today. I have enough work already.""Just wait a little longer." William pleaded. "Sean said he would come here."William did

He couldn't tell Vera his real address, but he also didn't want her to feel disappointed or disrespected. He had to think fast."I'm on Oakwood Street.

Is that okay?" Vera asked. She wasn't ready because she didn't think William would let her.It wasn't about him being possessive. Rather, it was about Sarah, who would usually tease Vera, making the atmosphere uncomfortable at times."Yes, you may." William agreed without further ado. "Have you chosen a good salon?"Vera mumbled for a while. "Uh, I don't think so. Sarah hasn't said anything about which salon she'll choose either.""Wait here for a moment!" William asked Vera to wait then he sent a message to Evan asking where a good salon was for Vera to get a treatment.Evan replied quickly with the name of a good salon.

    Today, William is in his office to find out how their business plan is progressing.Sean Montgomery said that Lucas Anderson also liked the proposal that Vera had made. Every number listed there and what it was used for seemed realistic.Actually, there are other companies that are also good at doing business proposals. However, since William had strongly agreed to propose his wife to get into this company and also they were competing with his own mother-in-law, Lucas sided with William this time and gave his grandson a chance to prove to his in-laws that he could be a good son-in-law."Your grandfather has agreed to this and I've also told your mother-in-law to agree to your request to appoint Vera as director."William smiled.

    Vera has finalized her business proposal she submitted to the Grand Street Commercial company. However, William received other news that was no less surprising."I received two proposals from JL. CORP," Sean said as he called William."Two proposals?" William, who received the news, raised an eyebrow. "Who sent the proposals?""One in the name of Vera Lyn, your wife and the other in the name of Jhonas Rivery as the vice president of the company."William furrowed his brow. Why did Amanda plan this? Hadn't it been agreed that Vera would represent their company in the tender this time.Hemh, it seems that Amanda is secretly trying to cheat William and violate the agreement they have made.Hemh, but this is not a big deal. Because, William is the main character who controls all of this."Then you just accept both of them, during the presentation we will see the proposal that best fits our company's criteria.""Alright, Sir. I will do as you ask."Vera came out of the bathroom. Several ti
