Chapter 199: I’ll make sure you are punished
"Guide Woods, why are you intimidating my staff?" The voice that spoke up from behind them had the security team relaxing, while Kellen grew furious. Now the manager was showing up? After Kellen had ’caused a scene’?
This was about as bad as Guiding Center A.
"Intimidating your staff?" Kellen started, turning on his heel to meet the foxlike gaze of the woman speaking. She wore glasses, and if Kellen was a man interested in that kind of thing, her body was the shape that would tempt men and women alike. Kellen cared not for such things, and sniffed as she came to stand in front of him. "I’m sorry, but if you are going to take general information as a threat, you might be in the wrong business." Her mouth twitched.
"Guide Woods, saying you are going to get the D.E.C. involved in the workings of a Guiding Center is a threat." Kellen snorted at her holier than thou behaviour and tone.
"Maybe if I didn’t find that your practises and behaviours broke several of the Guiding codes set into place to manage Guiding Centers, you wouldn’t view it as a threat. It is not my fault that I’ve noticed problems, and I plan to get the higher ups involved to fix them." Kellen leaned towards the shorter woman and narrowed his eyes. "I might not have even noticed if you hadn’t so obviously disgraced me, locked me in a room out of sight and out of mind, and then tried to get angry at me when I so graciously cleaned up your mess." That seemed to crack her.
Her arms shook as she clenched her hands and met his gaze. Her blonde hair was pulled up into an intricate bun, held in place with a hairpin. The eyes that stared back at him were familiar, and Kellen realised he had been wrong. The security member who had been harassing him hadn’t been because she was a partner or pair to anyone working here. It was because her sister was the manager here.
"That is rude of you to say when my team was on the way to handle the situation." She glared at him, and Kellen scoffed.
"Handle the situation? You allowed a Guide who was already stick thin to work! You should have sent them home!" Kellen’s voice grew louder, his anger filling him.
"What a Guide does or does not-"
