After hanging up, he was wondering if Leah Sinclair was the person the Grant family was looking for. He didn't notice Madeline Sterling standing just on the other side of a glass door.
Just then, a waiter carrying drinks passed by Asher Keating and asked if he needed anything. He casually took a glass from the tray and downed it. Afterward, he headed to the room to wait for Sean Yates.
After getting out of the elevator, Asher Keating felt dizzy. He immediately sensed something was wrong. His vision began to blur, but he forced himself into room 8550.
What he didn't notice was that the room number had been tampered with. After he closed the door, the "8550" plaque fell off, revealing the true number underneath: 8520.
Meanwhile, in the room, Madeline Sterling looked at Asher Keating tied to the bed and laughed. "Asher, why are you being so stubborn? You're suffering so much. Wouldn't you feel better if you just slept with me? Or perhaps... you like it when I take the lead?"
