Chapter 28: girls talk

Charlie and I have already left the Mansion and now we're standing in front of a futuristic metallic building with three floors. We are immediately approached by six tall men in black and white suits, neatly combed hair, and identification badges hanging around their necks. One of them approaches Charlie.

"Have you ensured everything is safe?" Charlie asks, still holding my hand.

"Yes, Sir," the man replies.

"Okay, good..."

Charlie turns to me, then urging me to continue walking into the building, which is a luxurious cafe where Kate is waiting for me. We keep walking while those people do not join us, but I am curious about who they are, and why Charlie knows them and asks them to make sure everything is safe here.

"Are you hungry?" he asks as we keep walking.

"No," I reply shortly, looking at Charlie who is much taller than me. "Who were those people? Why are they so obedient to you and follow your orders?" I can't help but ask.
