Nolan slowly opened his eyes.

Daylight entered the chamber through the window.

Nolan raised from the bed and headed downstairs.

Though it was early morning, there were dozens of guests in the restaurant eating, drinking, and chatting.

"Boss, good morning." Layla greeted him the moment he came downstairs. Her hands were full, carrying two pizzas.

Nolan nodded. "Layla, please tell Harley and Nara to come to the kitchen."

"Alright,"

Nolan then headed straight to the kitchen.

He opened the door and entered the kitchen.

The cooks stopped with their work, and all turned to Nolan.

"You!" Nolan pointed at a cook, a woman. "Do we have milk here?"

"We have milk," The woman replied.
