Chapter 6104

Elaine was thoroughly displeased with Hani's explanation. She shot back with a question, "What does that even mean? Can't you enjoy having your boss come to us, the customers? Is it about the customer, the boss, or is the boss like a deity?" Hani felt quite embarrassed and replied, "Madam, of course, customers are paramount, but I'm just a humble butler. I can't dictate how the group’s boss wants to run things." Elaine retorted, "Where is your boss? If you could ask him to see me, I want to ask him directly if this is how he treats his customers." Startled by Elaine's words, Hani tentatively inquired, "Madam, do you know who the boss of our group is?" Elaine scoffed, "I'm going on vacation and spending money; do I need to study who your boss is? What, is he even more famous than Bill Gates?" Hani awkwardly cleared his throat and quietly explained, "Ma'am, according to last year's authoritative Forbes rich list, our boss ranks third in the world while Mr. Bill Gates is in eighth place." "What on earth?" Elaine exclaimed, taken aback. "Didn't your boss just open a hotel? How did he manage to reach third place in the global rich rankings?" Hani clarified, "Ma'am, it’s not just the island where you are. The White Horse hotels worldwide are merely a small part of our boss’s empire. Renowned luxury brands like LV and Hermes are now under his ownership. He’s an international luxury magnate." "Bernard Arnault?" Charlie couldn't help but chuckle at the name. It turned out that the island he had carefully selected was owned by this wealthy individual. Had he known, he would have included the island in his bid for the Rejuvenation Pill. "Oh dear...” Elaine muttered with a sigh, "This old man is incredibly wealthy. It seems luxury goods are indeed a lucrative industry. I wonder how much I need to earn from those designer bags I bought?" Hani was taken aback and quickly cautioned her, "Madam, please watch your language..." "Oh!" Elaine collected herself and laughed awkwardly, "If you're saying he’s the third richest man in the world, I should probably mind my words." After a moment of contemplation, she turned to the butler Hani and asked, "What’s the best thing to do besides the underwater spa?" Hani responded, "Our beach spa is the best." Elaine immediately nodded and waved her hand, "Alright, let me make an appointment. I'll go there after dinner!" Jacob raised his hand from the side, "I want an appointment too; I’d like to experience it." He then looked at Charlie and Claire, asking, "Charlie and Claire, do you want to join us?" Charlie smiled and replied, "I’ll pass." Claire nodded in agreement, saying, "I won't go either; you two enjoy yourselves." Elaine smiled, "That's fine; you two can enjoy some time alone!" Claire's expression turned slightly awkward. She had originally looked forward to this trip to the Maldives as a romantic getaway with Charlie on a beautiful tropical island, but now there was a weight in her heart that had drained her excitement. After dinner, Elaine and Jacob headed to the beach spa that Hani had mentioned. Charlie turned to Claire and asked, "Wife, do you want to go to the beach?" Claire glanced at Charlie, nodded slightly, and said, "Sure, let's go." Charlie stood up, greeted Hamid, and then left the restaurant with Claire. At this moment, Hani approached with a smile, "Mr. Wade, you should know that there are a lot of manta rays to be seen at the beach in the north bay now. Would you like to interact with them?"

"Manta rays?" Claire asked in surprise, "Do you have them here?" "No," Hani shook his head with a smile, "Manta rays are native to this area. They tend to come into the shallows to feed and play at this time of day before returning to the deep sea when it gets dark. Now is a great time to interact with them." Claire inquired further, "Can you take us there?" "Absolutely, no problem!" Hani replied with a smile, "Hop on our golf cart; I'll take you both." Claire, who had been feeling somewhat dull, finally brightened up and said happily, "Thank you so much!" Charlie and Claire climbed onto the golf cart that Hani used to transport guests. The electric vehicle drove steadily along the gravel path on the island, heading straight for the northern beach. White Horse Island is quite expansive with a low number of guest rooms and has a low-density resort atmosphere, meaning the total number of tourists is small. Along the long coastline, only a handful of tourists could be seen. However, due to the presence of the manta rays on the beach in the north, many tourists were gathered at this time, most accompanied by their personal butlers who were patiently waiting on the beach. As soon as Charlie and Claire reached the beach, they spotted a group of basin-sized manta rays swimming in the shallows. Some tourists were already in the water, interacting with the manta rays while capturing pictures and videos on their phones. Since they had changed into slippers when entering the restaurant, Claire led the way, walking across the soft beige sand and wading into the waves until she reached the area where the manta rays were congregated. Charlie, who wasn't particularly interested in animals, silently followed her and took out his phone to help capture photos. Just as the guests were enjoying their time with the manta rays, a fair-skinned butler suddenly shouted in perfect English, "My God! My God! Look at the work group! The manager just announced that superstar Tawanna Sweet is coming to our resort! We need to prepare for a welcome event tonight!" "Really?!" Several butlers immediately went into a frenzy, their faces lit with surprise as they raced to pull out their phones. These young butlers cheered excitedly, "No way! Tawanna Sweet is really coming! Oh my goodness! Tell me this isn’t a dream!" White Horse Island has always prioritized guest privacy, and when a high-profile guest is about to arrive, management keeps this information highly confidential until the evening prior to their stay. Since these notable guests are so significant, a special welcome ceremony must be arranged one night in advance. Among the past visitors of White Horse Island, there have always been many international superstars, but Tawanna Sweet has never been among them. For those who enjoy European and American pop music, Tawanna Sweet is a uniquely prominent figure. Regardless of how popular others may be, they fall short in comparison to her, even Beyoncé. Additionally, most of these butlers are young and are fans of Tawanna’s music. They don’t earn much money during the year and often lack the means to attend her concerts around the world. Now hearing that Tawanna Sweet will be on White Horse Island tomorrow has left them absolutely thrilled. The commotion among the butlers caught the attention of some guests. When a few guests overheard their conversation, they expressed their surprise, "Tawanna Sweet is coming to White Horse Island?! Is that for real?!"
