“Huh?”
Looking at the beaten Caspian, Dakota was surprised, clearly not yet fully processing the significant
turn of events.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Do you want to forgive him, Dakota?” Cameron asked Dakota.
Seeing this, Timothy couldn’t help but shudder. He realized that his fate was entirely in the hands of Ms. Jennings.
He quickly expressed his apologies. “Ms. Jennings, I’m truly sorry. It’s my fault for not properly disciplining my subordinate. | will definitely discipline him after this!”
As he spoke, Timothy's shirt was already soaked with sweat. He didn’t dare to meet Cameron's eyes, fearing that he might anger him and receive an order that would make him disappear from Yrando forever.
He vividly remembered the terror of the Midlands battlefield from ten years ago. He couldn’t fathom why the Dark Lord was in Yrando now and didn’t dare to ask too many questions.
The scene that was unfolding astonished the onlookers, including Madison and her friends. Timothy’s henchmen were equally baffled by their boss’s unexpected behavior. When did their usually domineering and protective boss suddenly become so righteous?
Dakota finally recovered from her surprise and quickly replied, “It’s okay, Mr. Dashner.” She hadn't expected Timothy to apologize to her personally.
Timothy then turned his anxious gaze toward Cameron, awaiting his response. Seeing that Dakota had forgiven Timothy, Cameron chose not to press the matter further.
Sighing with relief, Timothy felt a weight lift from his shoulders.
Timothy quickly kicked Caspian aside. That troublesome guy was in the way. He looked at the mess in the room, bottles and cake strewn everywhere. Knowing that the Dark Lord’s friend was having a birthday celebration here, he hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
“My apologies, everyone. I'd like to apologize to you all on behalf of my subordinate for the inconvenience caused today.”
He continued, “To make amends, I'll cover your expenses today. As compensation, I’ll arrange another birthday banquet for you at Caesar Hotel in Room 8008 tomorrow. Caspian and | will personally come to give our blessings to the birthday celebrant.”
“Really, Mr. Dashner?” Madison suddenly spoke up, sounding a little incoherent with excitement. This was like an unexpected windfall.
Timothy looked at Madison and asked, “Who are you?”
“I'm Madison, Mr. Dashner. It’s my birthday today,” she introduced herself.
“Oh, you’re Ms. Parker.” Timothy became more polite, thinking she was a friend of Cameron’s. “Mr. Dashner, are you really going to celebrate my birthday tomorrow?”
“Of course, it’s the least | can do.”
“Thank you, Mr. Dashner.”
“Don’t mention it, Ms. Parker.”
“Well, | have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave if there’s nothing else.” “No problem, Mr. Dashner. Please go ahead.” “Alright.”
Timothy nodded lightly, then made a show of adjusting his oversized suit. With an air of authority, he told his subordinates, “Let's head back.”
He slowly exited the private room even though he was feeling extremely anxious, to the point that he thought he might wet himself. Once he was out of sight of the group, he swiftly disappeared into the corridor as if he feared the Dark Lord might change his mind.
As soon as Timothy and his subordinates left, the girls gradually recovered from their shock. They looked at each other, unable to believe the turn of events.
Not only had Timothy apologized for his subordinate’s behavior, but he had also promised to arrange a birthday banquet for Madison at Caesar Hotel the next day. He would even come to give his blessings in person.
What on earth was happening? Could it really have been because of Dakota’s boyfriend? Thinking about this, the other girls couldn’t help but cast deep glances at Cameron.
