Spencer did not deal with Ronald much, but he had to admit the guy was good at getting things done.
Spencer cracked a smile. "It's been quite a while. Thanks for asking, Mr. Wells!" He glanced around and then got to the point. "So, what's the deal today?"
"Oh, we've sorted it all out. It's got nothing to do with your wife," Ronald said with a twinkle in his eye to Spencer. "No worries, Mr. Sabian. We would've sent her home even if you hadn't shown up. But since you're here, I've got something to tell you."
"Go ahead, Mr. Wells," Spencer said, his forehead slick with sweat. He could feel the powerful aura of Charles’ people. He was usually a goody-two-shoes, but he had pulled some strings for Yessica so she could brag to her classmates.
Ronald let out a small smile. "Mr. Sabian, you're a clever man. Think about it, and you'll figure out why we're here today. The lady of the house might not be involved, but she's the one who invited these guests. You know this can’t happen again, right?"
"Yes. I get it, Mr. Wells. You can count on me," Spencer replied, then quickly added, "Mr. Hoffman, you too."
"Mm-hmm."
"So, what happened?" Yessica asked, seeing her husband looking all shaken up when he got back. "Did you talk to them?"
"Let's just go," Spencer said, his lips tight.
"Wait!" Yessica, being tugged along by Spencer, stopped him urgently. "You haven't told me what's going on!"
