Selene quickly made her way to the gate, where the guards were preventing Amélie from entering. She excused herself and told the guards that she'd handle it from there, then gestured for Amélie to follow her.
As they walked, Selene spoke up. "I apologize for our poor hospitality. Things have just been a little difficult for us as of late. I hope you understand."
"Nevermind that. Where are you taking me?" Amélie changed the subject.
"To the guest rooms," Selene said.
"What? I told you I wanted to meet the new Chairman," Amélie said, stopping in her tracks.
Selene turned around. "The Chairman is busy at the moment. You can wait for him to get back to you. I'll tell you immediately once he's free," she said.
Amélie still wasn't convinced. "No. I want to speak to the Chairman right now," she demanded, turning around.
But Selene grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" Amélie asked.
"Miss Amélie, please don't make things difficult for the both of us," Selene said.
