“Wait a moment!” Walter called her back at once.

Halting in her tracks, Josephine dropped her hold on Kai.

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

William was sweating bullets, afraid that Walter would fly into a rage.

“Yes!” William nodded in affirmation, but in the next second, he froze. “M-Mr. Chance?”

“Yes, that’s right. The guest of honor of my banquet this time is Mr. Chance. All the other guests are just here for the company,” Walter explained with a nod.
