Having received his orders, Doug promptly brought two bodyguards with him and charged straight toward Nana's room, reaching for the doorknob right away without any intention to knock.
However, it was locked from the inside.
"Ms. Lynd," Doug said loudly and sternly. "Open the door. We have something important to do and must get in there!"
There was no response.
"Open the door, or I'll kick it down," Doug growled.
"I can't right now," Nana finally said.
"Sorry about this!"
Doug completely refused to listen to Nana, and at his word, one of the bodyguards strode up and kicked the door open.
"Hey!" Nana shrieked inside the room as she tightened her fingers over her blanket, revealing her bare shoulders.
It was enough skin to show that she was not dressed.
"What the hell?! What are you doing in my room?!"
Doug, however, was unmoved and barked at the bodyguards, "Search the room!"
"Don't you dare!" Nana snapped.
However, the bodyguards went to work—they only obeyed Doug and naturally did not care how Nana was trying to stop them.
"How dare you do this to me?! I'll tell Grandma to fire you!" Nana snapped at Doug.
"This is of vital importance, so please cooperate, Ms. Lynd. If you take offense to my conduct, you may punish me however you see fit," Doug replied, respectful but even sterner than before now.
Nana gritted her teeth. "What are you looking for?"
"Your husband." Doug did not hide it.
