As the group continued hanging out around the area, a loud commotion could suddenly be heard coming from the end of the hallway.
A suited middle-aged man could be seen walking into the building, and many of the customers present greeted him respectfully when he passed by them. This wasn’t just any regular person. He was the manager of Edificio!
“That’s Edificio’s famous manager, Alexander Brookes!” explained Jefferson to the three girls.
‘So what if you know about him? He doesn’t even know that you exist!’ Raquel thought to herself, clearly still upset.
While a lot of people seemed to want to talk to Mr. Brooks, all he did was wave them off. He seemed to be in quite a hurry. The fact that he was also looking around hinted that he was trying to find something or someone.
All of a sudden, he noticed the four teenagers staring at him and he immediately ran over to Raquel’s group.
Seeing him hurriedly approaching them, both Raquel and Jefferson found themselves growing excited.
“Mr. Wadley, I presume? Did Mr. Crawford not come along?” asked Alexander with a respectful smile as he looked at Jefferson.
Everyone in the building immediately fell silent, all of them looking at the group’s direction.
“Mr. Wadley? Mr. Brookes, you must be mistaken! My name is Jefferson Brown…” replied Jefferson, his face flushed with excitement.
Even Raquel was biting her lower lip, trying her best to contain her excitement.
“Huh? Oh, I do apologize! I mistook you for someone else!” apologized Alexander rather awkwardly.
