Approaching Mr. Obin, Robert simply called out his name, "Mr. Obin." There was no need for formalities in this moment of crisis.
He greeted Robert with a respectful nod and a warm, though somber, smile. "Hello, Mr. Robert," he said, his voice carrying a note of sympathy as he extended his hand in greeting.
"Where is Mr. Huston?" Robert asked, his eyes scanning the surroundings as if expecting to see Mr. Huston arrive at any moment. But there was no sign of him, and the absence of Elena's fiance on the day of their wedding was a conspicuous and troubling absence.
Obin hesitated for a moment, his expression betraying a hint of discomfort. "I'm sorry, Mr. Robert, but my boss is unable to attend," he replied reluctantly.
Robert's eyes widened in shock, and his voice rose with a mixture of disbelief and anger. "What? How could he do something like that on his wedding day?"
