Dotson and Trent, lounging on the couch, turned their heads towards Hannah at the same time.
Trent got to his feet quickly and explained to Hannah, “I brought him here out of concern for his injuries. I’m about to take him away…”
While he was talking, Trent leaned over, attempting to help Dotson stand. However, Dotson, seated comfortably on the couch, refused to get up.
Facing Hannah, Dotson pleaded, “Boss! I’ve put everything into this performance! It nearly cost me my leg!”
Seeing his reaction, Hannah couldn’t resist Laughing. “Come on, that was a toy baseball bat. It’s not strong enough to break your bones.”
“My calf popped out of place! Boss, you hit me so hard! I was this close to yelling!” Dotson grumbled, massaging his sore calf.
“If the hit wasn’t convincing, how would anyone believe our disagreement was real?”
In the midst of their conversation, Trent cut in.
“Hold on…”
Positioned between them, Trent gestured towards Dotson, then looked at Hannah with a bewildered expression. “Was this all just for show?
Is that what this was?”
Keith was equally confused. “So, there wasn’t an actual fight between Dotson and Winston? What was the reason for staging this act?”

Just then, before Hannah could respond, Winston entered from outside the villa and walked up to Dotson. “How are you holding up? All good?”
While sitting on the couch, Dotson looked up at Winston with irritation. “Where did this toy baseball bat come from? Luckily, Miss Moore didn’t use all her strength; otherwise, my leg would’ve been in real trouble!”

With a serious look, Winston replied, “Without realistic props, how can we make anyone believe our story?”
“What? This was all an act?” Trent gestured between Dotson and Winston. “So, you guys weren’t actually looking to fight each other?
There were no genuine issues between you two? Why did you stage a fight here today? Was it all just for our benefit?”
“To put it simply, their scuffle wasn’t a spectacle for your amusement,” Hannah explained.
But before she could say more, there was a knock at the door.
Hannah peeked towards the entrance and pulled out her phone to check the surveillance app. Standing at the doorway was Dilan.
After Hannah unlocked the villa’s door, Dilan peered around with caution, stepping inside only after confirming that no one else was there.
“Dilan? What brings you here?” Dotson expressed his surprise.
As Dilan made his way into the living room, he shot a nervous look at Dotson before making a heartfelt appeal to Hannah, saying, “Boss, I’m aware he’s made a terrible mistake this time. Please, hold back your anger, boss. Feel free to lay into me instead to release your anger. Just spare Dotson, and he swears not to repeat his mistake!”
At this, someone couldn’t hold back and let out a loud laugh.
