taking things slow, looked like when he was anxious.
"Mr. Hodds, | believe this isn't your territory." There were hints of resolution in
Ernest's eyes as though he planned to not comply.
"What gives you the right to bring them here today, then?"

to back up.

pointing a gun at their boss. They each reached out to hold the gun at their waistbands. However, the people
standing in front of them were no pushovers either. When they saw what happened, they immediately went

"We agreed on three days. You breached the contract first. I'm sure you know Mr. Alex's temper. He may be kind,
but that doesn't mean he'll tolerate this. You've already overstepped your boundaries." With his gaze and the

However, Ernest only threw his head back and guffawed.
"Old habits die hard, Ronny. You always make everything sound so serious. | was just inviting them over to be my
guests. Look how terrified you are."
No one in the room was in the mood to laugh with him.
