Chapter 30: Threat (3)

'The ballroom is already being prepared for the party. The guests sent their people to take over with the decorations. We've put many notices that there will be a party, but still, the music is never heard where the guests are. You were right to have the ballroom moved and that old space turned to have music and a bar for guests."

Scarlet looked around at the guests staying in the hotel. There were smiles around but she still thought there was more to be done to make the hotel better. "It wouldn't be so bad to start allowing those without reservations to pay to enjoy a drink and music. As long as it doesn't bother the guest."

"Of course."

"Mrs. Humphrey," someone interrupted Scarlet's talk with one of the hotel assistants. 

"I am growing quite annoyed with that name," Scarlet said, turning to face three town guards. "You are quite late. Were you deciding if you should take her complaint seriously?"
