After watching Rachel call the elevator and leave after it arrived, the waiter took his phone out and sent a message. There was a red Ferrari parked at the entrance of the club’s parking lot. A cellphone on the passenger seat of the supercar suddenly vibrated. Carson, who was in the driver’s seat, looked over at the phone in surprise. He put the picture back in his pocket, picked the phone up, and unlocked it. “Mr. Scott, I made Miss Bennet leave the banquet hall for the villa, as you ordered me to.” The message was from the waiter.
