Reese quickly assessed the situation, realizing these people were determined to keep her there against her will. Facing the occupants of the private room, she spoke calmly. "Which one of you is Mr. Xavier?"

All eyes converged on a man seated in the shadowed corner. He looked decent, with a close-cropped hairstyle, but his appearance was marked by a scar on his forehead that gave him a fierce and menacing aura.

Clearing his throat, he acknowledged her presence. "Miss Roberts, welcome."

Reese maintained an impassive expression. "So, you're Mr. Magnus."

A sly grin curved Magnus's lips. "Indeed. Please, have a seat."

Observing the chaotic scene within, Reese had no intention of complying. "This isn't an appropriate setting to discuss the details of a jewelry design. Let's reschedule for a more suitable time."

As she turned to depart, the man with dyed yellow hair lunged to grab her.

Reacting swiftly, Reese seized his wrist, twisting it with a sharp movement that elicited a painful crack as the bone fractured. The man cried out in agony. A well- placed kick sent him tumbling away. "If this is how Mr. Xavier treats his guests, then I believe my time is better spent elsewhere."
