Episode 74

Director Paul allowed his heart to relax a little upon hearing Nelson repeatedly assure him that nothing was wrong. However, there was something else bothering him, that there was some kind of mistake he was making.

But Nelson was right. They didn't do anything wrong that could put them in an adverse situation. Besides, they had done it before and escaped unscathed and were even able to maintain their position. Surely this time would be the same, right?

Director Paul lifted his chin and walked with confidence, completely different from when he entered the hallway of the administration section as if death was behind his soul.

Walking towards the central office, Director Paul calmly pulled on his tie and combed his hair back with his fingers.

'Tap, tap'

He gently knocked on the door made of stout wood and waited outside. A few seconds later, no one answered and the door didn't open for him.

A wrinkle appeared on his forehead as he furrowed his brows and stared at the black-painted door. He wondered what was happening inside and it was taking them a while to open the door.

One minute turned into minutes. Director Paul was getting impatient. He shifted from one foot to the other as if he was about to pee his pants. The sweat on his forehead and inside his shirt increased even though the air conditioning was on at the lowest temperature. What was going on?

Casually, while Director Paul was standing in the hallway and right in front of the central office, an employee under one of the heads of that office approached. The young employee cast a strange look at him, but didn't stop her walk.

"Miss, wait!" Director Paul couldn't wait any longer. His patience was running out and he was about to really pee in the hallway.

"Yes?" The young employee looked at him curiously. There were too many people working at the hotel, she couldn't tell who this man was. She let her eyes wander around until they landed on the name tag pinned to his right chest.
