Anastasia felt utterly wiped out and decided to stay put and rest in the hotel. While Herman, on the other hand, was all spiffed up and ready to step out.

On seeing Herman descending the stairs, Nelson quickly got up to greet him, “Mr. Salstrom.”

Mr. Slater also rose to welcome Herman.

Herman walked up to Mr. Slater. In stark contrast to his gentle demeanor towards Anastasia earlier, he now wore a frosty expression, “Mr. Slater, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“No worries.” Mr. Slater replied with a smile, “Mr. Salstrom, our ride is waiting outside. Shall we hit the road?”

“Sure.” Herman headed towards the hotel exit, casually inquiring, “Where’s the lady you brought last night, Mr. Slater?”

Mr. Siater, fearing a blow-up from Herman, hastily explained, “Mr. Salstrom, are you referring to Crystal? She’s feeling not well today and took a day off. I apologize for any inconvenience we caused. I hope you understand.”

“There’s no need to get your knickers in a twist, Mr. Slater. I just want to ask her a few things.” Herman said, “Could you get her to come over?”

Unable to figure out what Herman was up to, Mr. Slater nevertheless agreed immediately, “Sure thing. I’ll call her over right away.” To him, throwing a woman under the bus was a small price to pay for securing a deal.
