An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Soluna Hall had one rule-they wouldn’t accept unfamiliar customers. They only served those they knew well or people introduced by someone they trusted.

Every transaction required an appointment. Exceptions were made for urgent matters, but those came with an additional fee.

When Dustin reached the entrance, two security guards stopped him. After stating his name and being verified by the guards, they let him through.

Inside, a female attendant with a pleasant smile greeted him and led him across the main hall straight into the back garden. They passed a small fish pond and stopped in front of a secluded private room.

“This is Ms. Linsor’s private reception area. Mr. Rhys, please come in,” the female attendant said with a smile.

“She’s not here?” Dustin asked curiously.

“She had something come up, but she’ll be here soon. Please make yourself comfortable,” the attendant said, still smiling.

“Alright then.” He nodded and walked into the room.

The room was spacious, with a vintage yet elegant design that gave it a distinct charm. A subtle fragrance lingered in the air, refreshing and uplifting.

Cut-up fruit, snacks, and warm tea were already on the table.

Dustin glanced around, and his eyes landed on a bookshelf against the wall.
