They laughed and enjoyed each other's company."I don't understand why the board directors would want to sell the hotel," Daisy said, straightening her hair."Yes, it is strange to me too," Richmond agreed. "The hotel is making a lot of money. Why would they want to sell? There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.""Maybe they needed the money for something else," Daisy suggested."But the hotel is our biggest asset," Richmond said. "I don't think they would sell it without my permission."Richmond took out his phone and called the chairman of the board, Mr. Ross.. He waited for Mr. Ross to answer the phone."Hello?" Mr. Ross said in a calm and gentle tone."Mr. Ross, it's Richmond. What did you do? Sell out the hotel?" Richmond shouted, his voice loud and angry."Yes, Mr. Richmond we sold the hotel.

Conor assembled the rest of the security team in a small, secret office to begin the search for the young master Franklin.The room was lined with computers, maps, and surveillance equipment. The team of security agents, all male, stood around the table, dressed in black tactical gear and armed with guns and radios.Conor, stood at the head of the table. "Okay, guys, we need to find the young master fast before things get worse. We will ask around, show pictures, videos, and posters. But be very discreet.

You're supposed to guard this place and yet, one man has managed to outsmart you all!"Another guard man spoke up. "We underestimated him.

She paced around the room, her heels clicking on the floor.The security guards tri
