“Alright… he’s here. Good luck,” Lana said with a mischievous smile. She subtly jutted her chin in a certain direction.

Dustin followed her gaze and saw a young man dressed in a classy suit making his way to the second floor. With his long hair and a folding fan in hand, he exuded an old-school charm. It reminded Dustin of classic movie stars.
