Turning to Keanu, she reassured him with a soft smile. "Don't worry, he'll be here soon." Skepticism filled the air, especially from Louis, who couldn't hide his disdain. He scoffed at her words. “Ms. Clarke, are you going to tell us later that the master had something urgent and couldn't make it?" Allison responded with a sarcastic smirk. "I didn't know you were psychic, Mr. Sugden. If you are, maybe you should've predicted your own incompetence before dragging your team here." Louis fell silent, his face flushing with frustration.

"Mr. Astley... is that really you?" Louis asked, his disbelief turning to excitement. He stepped forward eagerly to greet the master. "We've been calling you all day! Finally, you've arrived." Even Colton stretched out his hand, ready to introduce himself. "Mr. Astley, I'm the one who contacted you about restoring my grandfather's-" But before he could finish, Roderick walked straight past him, his attention fixed solely on someone else. He ignored everyone as he approached the desk, his eyes locked on Allison, filled with emotion.
"Master Clarke..." Roderick's voice trembled slightly. "I never expected you to contact me. I've been waiting for this moment for so long." He clasped Allison's hand with genuine emotion, his gratitude overflowing.

To him, Allison was more than just a colleague; she was a mentor, someone who had shaped his career. His heartfelt words left everyone in stunned silence, their jaws practically on the floor.
