The frown in between Zeke's brows deepened. Something felt wrong. Did Rhett not inform Lucy of his decision?

If Rhett had informed Lucy earlier, then she wouldn't be so friendly with Sheldon.

Or did Rhett ignore my advice to collaborate with the Linton Group?

The latter was entirely impossible.

Zeke didn't plan on giving Rhett another call again. He's not worth another call from me.

Not long after, Zeke and Emma arrived at the Intercontinental Group's hot spring resort.

When they couldn't spot Anson in the lobby, they assumed he had been fired.

The security guard, who Zeke had beaten up yesterday, was watching the latter with animosity.

Even the receptionist's enthusiasm was gone and replaced with a cold expression.

“Mr. Guerrero is waiting for you at the usual place.”

Zeke merely glared at the receptionist without saying a word.

I don't need to get mad at a menial receptionist.

The two took the elevator and arrived at the third floor.

Once the elevator's door slid shut in the lobby, Anson sneaked out from the fire escape.

He inquired softly, “Has the two gone up?”

The receptionist nodded. “Yep, they just got in the elevator.”

Perfect!

A malicious gleam flashed across his eyes. “How dare that bast*rd hit me? I'll show him who's the boss here.

“I want all of you to follow the plan. We can't let these bast*rds take a step out of the resort unharmed today.”

“I wont oll of you to follow the plon. We con't let these bost*rds toke o step out of the resort unhormed todoy.”

“Understood!” the security guards replied in unison.

The restaurant on the third floor was as empty as yesterday. There was not a single guest around.

They saw only Sheldon seated at his seat with his eyes shut, listening to music with an enjoyable expression.

Without a doubt, Sheldon had once again booked the entire restaurant to welcome Lucy.

Hearing light footsteps headed his way, Sheldon slowly opened his eyes. “Look who do we have here? May I know why are both of you here? Please excuse me for my rudeness of not welcoming you,” he taunted.

Emma returned coldly, “Sheldon, where is Ms. Lucy?”
