He explained his concept in detail, highlighting what he wanted and what he didn't want.

Alex made his way to his office, but as he entered, he was surprised to find Christian lounging on his couch, engrossed in a game on his phone. Alex greeted him sarcastically, to which Christian responded with a grin and a salute. "Working hard, I see," Alex remarked dryly.

Christian chuckled. "Just taking a breather, boss. So, tell me about this new concept for the hotel chain."

"I'm thinking to go for a mysterious but technology theme."

"Why?"

"Because it is unusual, and it will pique people interest."
