The Man’s Decree

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.”

Right then, Josephine had also caught up to Kai. She dragged him away while muttering, “Just how inattentive were you that you didn’t even watch where you were going and ended up here instead?”

“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.

Unexpectedly, Walter was taken aback. “Are you saying that Mr. Chance is an employee of your family?”

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

Huh? How does he know that Kai’s family name is Chance? And he’s even addressing him as “Mr.?”

“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.
