Gwen gave Jonathan a bnce–over, her gaze sharp as she realized he was only an assistant manager. She said, ” Didn’t I request to reserve seats in the event hall? Is everything ready? I want to inspect the venue.”

Hearing this, Jonathan offered an apologetic smile and replied, “Mrs. Torrey, I’m really sorry, but the event hall is currently fully booked, and it may not be possible to make arrangements for you.”

“Fully booked?” Gwen frowned, her tone sharp. “How is that possible? When I called earlier, your receptionist said there were still seats available.”

Jonathan smiled awkwardly and explained, “There were sears earlier, but… A gentleman has since reserved all our halls. So…”

But Gwen wasn’t willing to let it go. Her face darkened as she retorted, “Mr. Rhys, do you take me for a fool? There are only a handful of well–known figures in this city, and I haven’t heard of anyone hosting a large event. Besides, this isn’t exactly an affordable venue for most. How much did they pay? I’ll offer double!”

“Mrs. Torrey, it’s not about the money…”
