26 I Swear

Ronald called from outside Beauty's room. "Good morning! Is Boss with you right now?"

"What an improper question?" The girl answered from inside, a bit irritated by the weird approach. "It's only 6 in the morning. He definitely won't be in my room. What made you think he will be here? It's also very early. Maybe he's still asleep?"

"Sorry, I don't mean it that way. It's just I'm sure he's not in his room so I thought he'll be with you." Ronald apologized. "He is a person who wakes up easily even from a tiny bit of noise. My knocking should have awakened him if he is still inside. I tried to call him through his phone, but he's not picking up ... ah, never mind, I'll just wait for him to answer my text message."

"OK, just tell me when we'll head out."

As of this hour, Clarence was facing Clyde and Claire in the couple's suite.

"There's a big hubbub in the culinary org chat room. Read it for yourself." Clyde gave the laptop to his son.
