Mainly because the CEO follows the main entrance on Mondays
Not his underground garage
A car arrived at the front of the building
the CEO of Ashford holdings Hayden Ashford stepped out of his car, walking into the building while his PA followed behind
Hayden Ashford(ML)

Zachary(ML PA)

the elevator opened, they walked inside the elevator
It closed, went to the top floor
Hayden Ashford(ML)
