In the hallway outside the waiting room, a middle-aged man was apologizing to Ethan.
It seemed there had been a mix-up due to some staff oversight, and they had mistakenly assigned him the wrong waiting room. According to the company president's instructions, Ethan was supposed to have a private room.
But Ethan didn't care at all. Waving it off, he said, "No worries. Honestly, thanks to you guys, I'm pretty happy with this. No need to switch rooms for me."
"But…" The middle-aged manager looked a bit troubled.
Ethan, however, wasn't interested in his concerns. He reassured him, "Relax. If you're worried about your boss blaming you, I'll explain it to him."
Just then, Ethan's gaze shifted to something behind the manager. With a smile, he said, "Actually, instead of giving the room to me, why not give it to someone who needs it more? What do you think?"
The manager turned around and saw another group of people walking down the hallway.
