Bill promptly rushed to the front while throwing looks at Jacob, signaling him to leave posthaste. He blocked Dalton's path and fibbed, "Mr. Gunn, that's a server at the hotel, and he's probably taken a wrong turn and came here instead."
Right then, Stefanie had also caught up to Jacob. 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!" Dalton called her back at once.
Halting in her tracks, Stefanie dropped her hold on Jacob. "I apologize for my mismanagement that a server barged in, Mr. Gunn. I'll be sure to give you an explanation later."
Bill was sweating bullets, afraid that Dalton would fly into a rage.
Unexpectedly, Dalton was taken aback. "Are you saying that Mr. Sullen is an employee of your family?"
"Yes!" Bill nodded in affirmation, but in the next second, he froze. "M-Mr. Sullen?"
