In response, Carl shouted, "Fix this immediately! When I return, my father will surely demote you to the role of a janitor due to your incompetence!"

Calvert, unperturbed and accustomed to Carl's frequent outbursts, didn't flinch. He calmly responded, “Are you absolutely certain your father won't take his frustration out on you instead, once he's informed of the whole situation? He explicitly forbade you from joining the show, and now, you've created quite a significant scandal."

Standing unfazed as Carl raged, Calvert regarded the spoiled heir with an impassive gaze.

He had spent years handling the wayward youth and was well-acquainted with these fits of temper. Since childhood, Carl had careened out of control, with no one capable of reining in his whims. Joining the show was just his latest act of rebellion.

Before Carl could retort, his phone rang, and the caller ID caused his bluster to evaporate.
