Chapter 26

“Mr. Salvador… I can’t do it anymore!” Ian panted as they climbed the stairs.

The hotel had high ceilings, so each floor had more steps than usual. By the time they climbed to the 8th floor, Ian was already out of breath. His legs were trembling, and he was about to give up.

“A man shouldn’t give up so easily. There are only two floors left. Hurry up.” Justin urged Ian as he climbed the stairs without changing his expression.

Justin was 30 years old. He was two years older than Ian, but he served as a soldier in the peacekeeping force when he was younger. After he retired from the army, he regularly exercised and did martial arts, so his level of physical fitness was much higher than that of ordinary people.

He could still climb another 20 floors if needed, because back when he was in the army, he would have to run at least 30 laps during their night run.

Finally, they arrived at the 40th floor. Ian sat on the steps and panted heavily, while Justin stared at him coldly and shook his head.

“Mr. Salvador, nice to meet you.”

Justin turned around when he heard the voice. He saw a man walking over with a polite smile on his face. He was handsome and clean-cut. He had what many women would describe as a puppy-dog face, and it was hard to tell his real age.

“I am Ms. Thompson’s secretary, Steven Lovett. Ms. Thompson has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me.”

‘Was she complaining that we were slow?!’ Justin was annoyed, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. His face darkened a bit. “Well, my feet certainly aren’t as fast as an elevator. I hope Ms. Thompson doesn’t mind.”
