Just then, the door to Room 305 opened, and Nathaniel Nathan stepped out. "My wife is sleeping, so could you please keep it down? Also, if you're going to discuss jumping me, could you please do it behind my back? This is very disrespectful to the person you're talking about."
After speaking, he shut the door again.
Alistair Forrest: "..."
The two bodyguards: "..."
'We were already speaking so quietly, how could he still hear us?'
After that whole ordeal, Alistair Forrest felt that if they continued their discussion here, he would be utterly humiliated.
Moreover, Nathaniel's earlier comment, "My wife is sleeping," had struck a nerve. It was almost noon, and Vera Xavier was still asleep. 'Just how intense must they have been last night?!'
The two bodyguards felt that with Alistair Forrest up against a rival like Nathaniel Nathan, they couldn't find the words to comfort him even if they wanted to. Any attempt would have been far too insincere.
