"Ah... Mr. Malone, I'm sorry. There was a traffic jam, so I came a bit late. I hope you don't mind."
When the middle-aged fat man saw Emery, his face was suddenly filled with respect and humility.
The fat man quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Emery.
Silence ensued.
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock.
They all knew who the middle-aged fat man was.
Because the fat man's photo was hanging on the huge film wall outside the hotel.
The fat man's name was Carl Grey, and he was the owner of Grandy Hotel!
"What's going on?"
"Why is Carl so respectful to this useless good-for-nothing?"
"There must be something behind this."
"What the hell is going on..."
Everyone was puzzled.
They all looked at Emery and Carl again.
"Oh, you are the owner of this hotel?"
Emery looked at the fat man in front of him.
"I am Carl Grey. I am the owner of this hotel, Mr. Malone."
