Unexpected Complications

Lila's thoughts raced, her face pale as she felt a strange intensity from a woman with blue hair wearing a pair of glasses who now stood before them, gazing intensely.

'When Lady Aiko instructed me to notify her when Alister would be leaving... I just thought she wanted to be sure he would follow orders... I heard a rumor that he was allowed to disobey them, so I was sure that was the reason...'

And this woman was none other than Lady Aiko, and her reason for following Alister was not only to ensure he got the best of what he needed out of the day, but also to take control if a paparazzi were to show up.

Lila's thoughts raced further, 'Never would I have thought the reason could be that she wanted to follow him!'

'Why though? Does she need to?'

'Ahh, now I feel awkward.'

The air surrounding her now felt almost suffocating as she stood before them, Lila's posture stiff and nervous as she practically froze at Alister's left side.
