Everyone there turned to look.
Ariel was startled as a large group of people swept in through the door. Leading them was an elegant, striking woman, carrying the cold edge of someone tempered by experience.
No one had expected Evelyn to show up in Sorenta for a surprise inspection.
Matt and the others quickly straightened up.
Upon hearing the manager's words, Evelyn, who had flown over on short notice, was surprised to find Jayson here too.
She simply said, "Lead the way."
The manager gestured politely. "Mr. Larkin and his friends are in the restaurant. His girlfriend is here too."
Evelyn paused imperceptibly.
Clicking her heels softly as she approached, she noticed Nancy sitting beside Jayson.
But soon, Evelyn spotted Ariel standing not far away. Her eyes narrowed sharply, clearly surprised by what she saw.
Evelyn glanced at Jayson, who remained calm and collected. He seemed unbothered by the scene.
"Mrs. Larkin," Perry greeted.
Matt and the others also greeted Evelyn.
