His words halted Gilbert in his tracks.

Indeed, if he barged in like that, what if he saw something he shouldn't?

He turned around, his gaze dropping to meet Colin's. "Seems like you're unwilling to hand her over, are you?"

"Heh." A grin spread across Colin's face. "This is how we make our living, sir. If you'd be so kind as to come and watch her perform, I'll reserve a spot just for you.

"Want me to come watch?" A cold smile danced in Gilbert's eyes. "Well, that'll depend... on whether she's got the talent."

After that, he strode out.

"Mr. Gilbert, take care! Do come again!" Colin bowed deeply, escorting him out.
