Timmy watched in stunned silence as the woman he'd been observing approached a familiar figure. His eyes widened in disbelief when he recognized who she was walking toward.
Victoria Chen, the Branch CEO of Lily Oceanic Industries, stood there, a commanding presence that made people stop and take notice. Timmy hadn't expected to see someone as important as her at a resort, of all places.
Victoria's expression softened only slightly as she addressed the beautiful woman. "Miss Aquila," she said, her voice carrying the weight of authority, "are you finished with today's inspection?"
The woman—Miss Aquila—met Victoria's gaze with calm confidence. "Not yet," she replied. Her voice was steady but carried a warmth that caught Timmy off guard. "I'd like to join the island hopping tour. I want to see firsthand how our staff serves our guests."
Victoria's eyes narrowed just a bit. "Is that necessary?" she asked, her tone tinged with surprise.
