Alan watched as Connor's gaze settled on Chloe's face, and a spark of excitement flickered inside him. It was clear that Mr. Connor was intrigued by the newcomer. After all, the college student who showed up today had one of those striking faces that catches your attention right away. Even Alan felt a flutter in his chest at the sight of her.
Trying to humor Connor, Alan suggested, "How about she puts on a little show for us?"
The crowd erupted with cheers, but Alan failed to notice the icy daggers forming in Connor's eyes. Devon gasped, shocked by Alan's audacity. But given that Devon and Alan were never on the best of terms, Devon was secretly thrilled to see Alan dig himself into a hole.
Kash, usually calm and collected, was about to step in when Devon subtly held him back. "Just wait and watch," Devon whispered, signaling Kash to hold his ground.
Connor's voice broke through the commotion, "Mr. Eldridge, I didn't ask for your input."
Alan was momentarily stunned, not quite grasping what Mr. Connor meant. Connor reiterated, "So, how do you suggest we deal with him?"
It dawned on everyone that Connor's question wasn't meant for Alan but for Chloe, the college student Alan had brought along. The room was filled with confused looks, except for Devon, who seemed to be enjoying the scene.
Chloe wriggled free from Alan's grip and chimed in, amused, "If this gentleman likes watching people strip and dance so much, maybe he should do it himself in every room here."
