“Could the man have helped Mr. Zeller in secret without revealing his identity?” Zachary whispered in Levi's ear after that thought popped up in his mind.
Levi pondered over it briefly. Then, he gave a curt nod, indicating that he agreed with Zachary.
Flashing a smile, he turned to Glen.
“Mr. Zeller, perhaps that man doesn't want you to know of his real identity. If you agree to let the matter slip, instead of holding Paradise Hotel and the three of us responsible, we shall take our leave. We can meet up another time for some coffee. How does that sound?” Levi proposed cautiously.
“You've already offered your apology in person, so there's no reason for me to not forgive you. It's my grandson's birthday party today. Come on in and have some drinks before you leave,” Glen said warmly.
He promptly invited Levi and the others into his house.
“Congratulations, Mr. Zeller. Paradise Hotel's branch in Norham was only established a while ago, so we're pretty busy with work. However, thank you for the invitation. Here's a little something for your grandson.”
Levi and his subordinates gave the monetary gift, which they had prepared in advance, to Glen before taking their leave.
That man wants to keep his identity a secret. If he we stay behind and bump into him when he actually shows up, we'll definitely ruin his plan.
The three of them left in a haste.
Glen and the rest were still in a daze after the trio had left.
They would not have believed that everything that happened was real if there had not been so many witnesses at the scene.
It was pretty astonishing that the general manager of Paradise Hotel had shown up with his assistants to offer an apology.
This was certainly a first in the world.
The guests wasn't even sure how they had returned to their respective seats.
After settling in their seats, they proceeded to talk about the same topic, which was how Levi had shown up with his subordinates and apologized to Glen.
“Hubby, we've been together the entire time. When did you get outside help? That person must be a big shot, for even the general manager of Paradise Hotel showed up personally to apologize to us. If you have powerful connections, why have you been keeping that a secret until now?” Glen's wife demanded after they returned to the living room.
Everyone's gaze fell on him as they eagerly waited for his answer.
“Woman, stop spouting nonsense. I don't have any powerful connections. I'm still wondering who it could be!” Glen snapped unhappily.
He didn't bother hiding his displeasure, as his wife had interrupted him rudely while he was engrossed in his thoughts.
“Dad, if it wasn't you, then who could it be? The person who helped us must be extremely influential,” Myron chimed in.
“Remember what Harry said before he left? If I'm right, he must have helped us behind the scenes. I wonder if he asked someone else for help, or that he has a secret identity no one else knows about,” Glen voiced out his thoughts hesitantly.
“Impossible! Didn't you see his attire? The military uniform he had on was old and tattered. He only had a few hundred with him. There's no way he's a big shot. I refuse to believe it!” Megan declared, her voice dripping in disdain.
She turned to look at Jacob, who was standing beside her.
