Joycelyn didn’t speak, her hands gripping the door handle as she pressed her whole body against the door from the inside. trying to block Ellison from entering.

Unfortunately, the door couldn’t be locked, and with the vast difference in strength between them. Ellison simply twisted the handle.

The door creaked open just a crack, and Ellison’s stern, intense gaze peered through the small opening.

Joycelyn lifted her eyes to meet his and asked, “What’s going on? If you need something, just text me.”

She was about to have a heart attack. With her mask on, only her terrified eyes were visible, full of resistance.

“Change your clothes and come back, Ellison’s voice was firm and unyielding, leaving no room for argument.

“Alright… I drove here. If you leave first, I’ll be right behind…” Joycelyn’s voice trembled, betraying her fear. Ellison didn’t let go, his tall frame almost level with the doorframe, radiating an aura of calm authority that made it impossible to look away.

His expression was emotionless, but his deep, cold eyes gave off an unmistakable pressure, as though an invisible force hovered over Joycelyn’s head.

“Il leave now,” she quickly corrected herself.

Outside, Haddy watched, confused, as Ellison stood silently outside the janitor’s closet door.

“What’s going on with Ellison? Did that hotel cleaner do something to upset him?” Haddy had never seen his friend like this and was about to step forward to intervene.

Leon immediately grabbed him, chewing his food, and in a half–laughing, half–serious tone wamed, “Please, don’t”

“Why?” Haddy looked at him with soft, questioning eyes.

“Don’t get involved,” Leon shook his head vigorously, signaling for him to stay back.

Haddy noticed something was off and frowned slightly. “Look at that figure, the cleaner must be the woman from the party earlier. She’s quite young, Ellison wouldn’t make things difficult for a staff member.”

Leon suddenly shot him a sly look.

Haddy’s eyebrows furrowed. “What do you mean? Could it be…?”

Leon nodded vigorously. “Exactly what you’re thinking,” he said, sneaking a mischievous grin.
