Bab 83: Amusing

"Young master… young master..." The maid whispered, nudging Desmond gently and pointing at his shoulder to wake him up.

Before the maid could respond, their conversation was interrupted by the commotion emanating from another VIP room. A voice resounded, accompanied by the loud shouting of other maids.
