The manager nearly stumbled over himself as he rushed to greet Roy Cooper, his face alight with relief and triumph. "Mr. Cooper!" he exclaimed, pointing an accusatory finger at Ethan. "This wild animal went loose! He nearly killed me in here—"
At that moment Roy raised a hand, silencing the manager mid-sentence. His sharp gaze cut through the room, leaving the manager frozen, mouth agape. Without a word, Roy walked past him, his polished shoes clicking against the floor as he approached Ethan.
To the manager's utter disbelief, Roy knelt on one knee in front of Ethan, lowering his head slightly. "Mr. Ethan," he said, his voice steady but with an unmistakable hint of urgency.
"I deeply apologize for all the inconvenience caused here. This should never have happened. Please be Rest assured, I will personally deal with everyone involved."
Seeing what was going on the room fell into a stunned silence, the weight of Roy's words settling heavily in the air.
