Chapter 147: This Means War

In the elevator I use the card to access the back door of the elevator, which takes me into Vincent's private office. As soon as she sees me, Vincent's assistant Amy smiles and stands from her desk. At least someone's happy when I'm around and will not hold Vincent's letter against me. Hopefully.

"Vincent didn't say you were coming," she says, her smile falling a touch.

"I didn't warn him. Can I go in and talk to him?" There's no point yelling at her. She's only doing her job. It's not Amy's fault she works for an overstepping, demanding ogre.

"Important meeting with whom?" Some things I trust Vincent explicitly about and some I don't.
