His expression carried effortless confidence, and an unmistakably charming smile.

"Hello, Terence," Noah greeted smoothly. "Could you do me a favour and allow him this time?"

The guard's sternness instantly softened as recognition flashed across his face. "Oh, it's Mr. Thompson!" he exclaimed, stepping back slightly. "Sorry to stop you, sir. Please, enter."

Terence waved to his colleague, signalling for the gates to open. The heavy iron barriers swung inward, revealing the entrance.
