William promptly rushed to the front while throwing looks at Kai, signaling him to leave posthaste. He blocked Walter’s path and fibbed, “Mr. Grange, that’s a server at the hotel, and he’s probably taken a wrong turn and came here instead.”

“I apologize for my mismanagement that a server barged in, Mr. Grange. I’ll be sure to give you an explanation later.”
