She went up to the counter and made sure that Frederick wasn't back yet. After waiting for a moment, she told herself that he must've been busy and didn't want to hurry him. After looking at the time, Alicia bent down again and left her suitcase at the counter. She was so hungry to the point that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she left for her dinner.

After her stroll, it was soon past 9:30 p.m., and he should be back soon, so she returned to the hotel. She took her suitcase and asked,

"Excuse me, sir, is the man in room A808 back yet?"

"He just came back! We haven't notified him just yet. Let's give him a surprise! Miss and Mr. Clements seem like a really perfect match..."

"Thank you!"

She nodded with a smile, and the pace of Alicia's movements couldn't help but speed up.

On the way up in the elevator, she did a quick touch-up of herself in front of the mirror, and then trotted along the way.

At this moment, Frederick received the contract in his room and handed it to a tall, young man with wavy hair who was on the sofa.

"President Pierce, I'm sorry for bothering you at this hour. This contract wasn't that important anyways. The main reason I invited you over today was because I've stored a bottle of 1787 Lafite red wine in the hotel. I heard that you have a special affection for Lafite, and I knew you'd admire it..."

As he stood straight, the man was obviously a little excited.

"It's from 1787? Was it from President Thomas Jefferson's collection that was auctioned off? I heard that he released it at a price of a hundred and fifty thousand US dollars in 1985? And it's apparently in your hands?" The man, Shelton Pierce, asked.

"That's correct! You're indeed an expert! It was a coincidence that I got it, but I'm not sure whether it's real or fake. You can help me figure it out later!"

He took two wine glasses and placed them on the table. Frederick smiled feebly. It was then that the doorbell rang.

"I'll go take a look!"

Frederick thought it was the waiter who came with the wine, so he opened the door without any
