Shannon and I had to avoid the place temporarily after being chased away by the security guards.
We only dared to come to the door again after they left.
Looking at the small Western building, Shannon sighed silently. "To think that I, the brilliant Shannon Collins, was chased away by security guards. I’ll never forget this in my entire life."
I held my chin, looking disappointed. "I thought maybe I could leverage the connection with Theo for a meeting, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't even be able to get past the doorbell."
Could we only go back and wait quietly for Lola's reply?
It felt bad coming here all the way and going back like this.
"Wanda, what are you thinking about?"
"Of course, I'm thinking about what to do." I stared at the small Western-style building that had its windows closed. "Shannon, do you think they’ll be able to hear us inside if we were to shout down here?"
Her big, bright, and watery eyes fell on me, revealing a little surprise. "You don't mean to..."
I nodded at her heavily, having made up my mind. "That's right, I plan to shout out from down here. Maybe she’ll come out after she hears us.”
Contrary to my self-confidence, Shannon stared at me in bewilderment. "But if the security gets called again, we’ll be charged with disturbing the good people. We might end up at the police station.”
"Even if that happens, we’ll only be given a warning. What are you afraid of?"
I would do anything for the company.
Seeing that I was so persistent, Shannon finally gave in. "Okay, if you want to shout, we’ll shout together. If we’re going to go to jail, we’ll go together!"
We were about to start shouting when the door opened.
A lady who looked to be in her 50s came out and smiled politely when she saw us. "Ladies, Miss Osborn has asked me to invite you in. Please follow me."
