Chapter 28: Your Records
One thing Rain loved about Brandon was his precise and meticulous planning before starting any operation he led. Last night, they had a thorough discussion about the pros and cons of each move they had to make. He would ask for her ideas, and the two of them often found themselves brainstorming all the possibilities and how to address them.
Thankfully, one scenario they had considered was the possibility of her getting caught inside one of the lounges. And it would seem that exact scenario was playing out before her.
Rain met Madame Beck’s intense stare and naively replied, "I don’t know, Madame Beck. I tried every door, and none of them opened except for that particular lounge."
Madame Beck didn’t bother to give her a reply. Instead, she grabbed her tablet and began reviewing the CCTV footage. All the while, Rain smirked inwardly, knowing that the madame was watching an edited version of the events where she simply appeared as someone trying to open several doors before finally entering the last lounge.
While reviewing the footage, Madame Beck called for her assistant and instructed, "Check the door on Lounge 10 and see if there’s any malfunction."
With her instructions given, Madame Beck turned her attention back to Rain, her eyes never leaving her as she waited for a reply from the other line. Eventually, her assistant relayed their findings, and after listening to the report, she finally dropped the phone.
"Looks like we have a glitch in Lounge 10," Madame Beck addressed Rain with a smile. "However, next time you pull a stunt like this with a very important client... you’ll face a punishment you definitely wouldn’t like."
"I understand, Madame Beck," Rain quickly replied with a slight bow. "It won’t happen again, I promise."
"Now leave," Madame Beck dismissed her.
