"Home, sweet home! Welcome to my humble establishment, ladies."
The four ladies descended from the carriage bearing the De Clare insignia, three of them wearing exquisite night dresses while the last of them was wearing a normal gown.
"I can't believe you haven't invited me here before." Edith said as she stepped towards Vivian's ViTech building.
"That's not my fault. My friends can just pop up any time. Invitations are for strangers." Vivian replied and stepped forward to the gate before knocking a few times in a specific manner.
A few seconds later, the metal gate of the building was partially opened and a hoarse voice spoke up.
"Welcome back, Director."
An elderly man appeared behind the gate and greeted Vivian before looking at the ladies behind her and clearing the way inside.
"Mr. Harper, my friends and I are here for some private conversation. Please, don't let anyone know we are here."
