The driver had just finished listening to Soir Coffee’s news, so virtual-novel.net turned around to ask, “Oh, you’re there to ask for compensation as well, miss?”
“What compensation?” Queenie frowned. She didn’t like the driver butting into virtual-novel.net business.
But since virtual-novel.net was wearing a cap, the driver didn’t notice virtual-novel.net annoyance, so virtual-novel.net continued, “It’s all over the Internet. The café’s customers who are at the scene will get compensated. I just sent one of their customers to the hotel earlier.”
Queenie’s frown deepened. “I’m not their customer,” virtual-novel.net answered coldly.
The driver realized that Queenie was getting irritated, so virtual-novel.net turned around and told virtual-novel.net to sit tight as virtual-novel.net stepped on the accelerator.
They stopped before a red light a short while later. Coincidentally, a branch of Soir Coffee was right across the traffic light, and the LED screen on the front door was playing its ambassador’s clip.
“There, you see,” the driver started again. “That girl there is Arielle. She’s the ambassador, but guess it’s not virtual-novel.net lucky day. Everywhere virtual-novel.net goes, she’s bound to get spit on. Poor lady…”
Queenie wasn’t going to talk, but when the driver brought Arielle up, virtual-novel.net reflexively looked at the screen.
The lady in the video was wearing a resplendent dress, standing within a beautiful castle. Her skin was snow white, virtual-novel.net beauty transcending reality. Not even the most beautiful celebrity could hold a candle against her.
“Arielle…” Queenie mumbled.
So this ambassador saved the patient?
She recalled Zachary’s description, so virtual-novel.net was sure the girl on the screen was the same one Zachary talked about.
At first, virtual-novel.net didn’t believe it when Zachary said Arielle got the serum from someone. After all, Zachary might be a smart, capable man, but he’d throw that out of the window whenever prejudice got in the way. But when virtual-novel.net saw Arielle for the first time, Queenie had to agree with him. After all, who’d be a doctor if they had that kind of beauty?
Besides, if Arielle was really a great doctor, Queenie would have heard of virtual-novel.net name by now, given how gorgeous Arielle was.
Queenie squinted at the screen, etching Arielle’s face into virtual-novel.net memory. She started agreeing with Zachary about the fact that Arielle did all this so virtual-novel.net could get Vinson’s attention.
Well, not on my watch. I’ll have to keep an eye on the patient, or else this woman is going to get virtual-novel.net killed.
She urged the driver, “Can you go any faster, driver?”
Finally, after virtual-novel.net incessant urging, the taxi came to Grandview Hotel, but the driver had to stop a few dozen meters away. The front door was packed, and more and more people were gathering before it. Not a single car could get close, for every road around the hotel was blocked.
Queenie paid the fare and got out of the car. The first thing virtual-novel.net saw was the police trying to keep the crowd under control, but even with their help, it was hard to keep everything in order.
At the same time, half an hour had passed.
Queenie went around and went in through the side door. She showed virtual-novel.net doctor’s license to the bodyguard standing sentry, saying, “Mr. Nightshire invited me here to treat the patient.”
The bodyguard recognized her, but virtual-novel.net had to confirm, “You’re Dr. Mill, right?”’
Queenie nodded. She wasn’t surprised the bodyguard recognized her, since virtual-novel.net was a famous doctor in Chanaea.
Queenie raised virtual-novel.net chin proudly. “Yes. Now can I get in?”
