"Are you talking about me, Nina?" When Marissa stepped inside, she was met with silence in the room.
Marissa walked past Nina and Valerie and faced the audience sitting there, "I'm sorry that you got your cards late. Mr. Mark Greyson informed me that you all are very much interested in the cards," while talking to them her eyes were observing every action and every expression of the audience, "I didn't know, this lot didn't want respect. You people didn't receive your cards because there is an unsaid rule in MSin. If you are a family member then you don't need a card," her chuckle echoed in the quiet room. People seemed to be holding their breaths.
"Mr. Sinclair hired you and decided that you are like his family. You all were here for something very special. To welcome the President of MSin in Kanderton City," she could feel the tension in the room.
It felt like they all had stopped breathing.
