But to her surprise, the bodyguard shook his head. “I’m sorry, Dr. Mill. I’ll have to ask Mr. Nightshire about it.”
Queenie pursed her lips, annoyed that she couldn’t get in despite getting recognized. But she couldn’t make life hard for the bodyguard, so she said, “Of course.”
At the same time, Vinson was already prepared for the press release. When the bodyguard came to tell him about Queenie’s arrival, he hesitated for a moment, but finally, he said, “Don’t let anyone unrelated to this in.”
“Wait a minute.” Carter came back just in time to see this scene. “Since Boss isn’t around, I think we should have a medic on standby. We spent a fortune to hire her. The girl’s a skilled doctor and comes from a famous traditional Chanaean doctor family. We should have her around just in case.”
Vinson nodded. “Let her in then.”
“Yes.” The bodyguard nodded and went away in a hurry.
When Queenie saw the bodyguard again, she started getting nervous. Does he still remember me? Will he let me in?
The bodyguard smiled at her and invited her in. “Come in, Dr. Mill. I’ll take you to Mr. Nightshire.”
Queenie heaved a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she got even more nervous. Not even her first surgery made her that nervous.
She patted her chest to calm herself down and followed the bodyguard in.
Grandview was a big hotel, so it took Queenie a few twists and turns before she came to Vinson’s waiting room.
