A young woman in a bodycon dress, holding a hand fan, was startled by the man's sudden action. She arched her eyebrow and asked, "What's the matter, Boss? Did your opponent kill you again, or was your buff taken?"
Throughout her years working with Gail Gilmore, she had never seen him so flustered. He was always uninterested in everything and didn't even bat an eye when the Chamber of Commerce announced a meeting at Serenity Hotel.
To Gail, the game he was playing was far more exciting than watching a bunch of people pitting against each other. No one would expect that Serenity Hotel's owner had such a whimsical side.
However, Samiyah Naverro believed that Gail was just uninterested in establishing a connection with people. While the aristocratic families in Hawford were eager to please and gain favor with him, they were constantly intimidated by his presence.
Gail cut a striking figure in his clean suit, and the watch on his wrist added a touch of elegance. His bluish hair was neatly styled, complementing his handsome countenance. His captivating eyes held a depth and intensity that seemed to draw people in.
Samiyah couldn't help but feel that Gail looked exactly the same as when she first met him, though he had picked up a few hobbies favored by youngsters.
But what was important now was that Gail didn't seem quite like his usual self.
As Gail fastened the diamond button on his cuff, his lips curled into a smirk. "Neither. Didn't you hear that? The backdoor just rang."
Samiyah was visibly surprised at his words. She had always believed that Gail kept the backdoor purely for his own amusement. After all, no one knew that the backdoor led to Serenity Hotel, nor would they dare to use it.
While Samiyah stood dumbfounded, Gail headed toward the door. However, he stopped in his tracks and turned back. "Go find out who's participating in the meeting today," he instructed Samiyah.
Frowning, Samiyah argued, "That doesn't seem appropriate, Boss."
