Somewhat speechless, Oli sighed and furled the scroll. He got up and approached the reception counter once more.
"How may I help you, sir?"
"I'll be paying for that additional person. Do I pay it now or can it come out of my winnings?" asked Oli.
The receptionist nodded. "Then we'll deduct it from your winnings. In that case, would you like an escort to your room? Once there, we'll bring your earnings to you."
"Yes. That'd be perfect."
As the receptionist came out from behind the counter, Oli motioned for the others to come join him. The receptionist led the group down the main hallway in silence. Such was the custom when working with secretive clients. So the receptionist didn't say anything unless spoken to.
