The staff led Connor and his crew to the suite on the ninth floor with a respectful nod. "This is your room. Feel free to relax. There's a dance and cocktail party downstairs this evening. If you need anything, just press the red button on the table, and someone will come right away."

With that, the staff exited the room.

Flora's phone buzzed. She glanced at it and saw a message from Miss Crimson.

"Connor, I need to step out for a bit. Miss Crimson wants to see me," she said, handing him her phone.

"Hold on a sec, I'll get ready and come with you."

"Then let Lance and Colton go with you. Call me if you need anything."
