Altan noticed her discomfort and asked, "Lanie, when are you going to Saudi Arabia?"
Mu Lan found her voice. "After breakfast. We cannot waste out time any longer. Why do you ask?" She made sure that her voice wasn't too fast or too slow while talking.
Al said, "I would like to go with you. Will it be a problem?"
Mu Lan shook her head and answered with a smile, "Not at all. You are most welcome."
Al was relieved. "Also, I want to be your personal attendant. Can you manage it?"
Mu Lan's eyes darted around towards Mu Liang before she replied, "Sure, but will be better if you don't show your face to my brother and brother Feng."
Mark said, "It wouldn't be easy for him to be joined at attendant. How about personal secretary."
Mu Lan shrugged. "…I don't need one; and I'm still a student. It would be weird for me to have one."
Romano suggested, "Then a bodyguard."
