Although his favorability with Mayor Lowe was maxed, Kieran felt it was impolite to barge into his office when occupied.

However, despite Kieran's intentions to remain still, Mayor Lowe's beckoned for him. "Is someone there? There's no reason to wait outside. You're free to come inside."

Kieran glanced at the door in slight surprise. 'Is the visitor inside the office not important?'

Generally, one wouldn't permit a foreign party's entry into a meeting until the discussion was concluded. If someone allowed an additional party into the room, it meant one of two things.

Either the meeting reached its end, so there was no threat of crucial information leaking, or the attending party wasn't too important.
