"Hahaha! If it isn't the newest star in the Guild!"
The woman looked to be in her mid-forties. She wore a dark blue cardigan with a red scarf neatly draped over her shoulders. As she turned to greet me, her light-brown hair swayed gently.
She smiled brightly.
"I've been meaning to meet you, but you've been dodging my invitations. I'm glad I finally managed to get you to come here."
I was on the 28th floor of the building.
The marketing department.
I'd always planned to avoid this place, but things changed the moment I received a certain message.
But more importantly...
'The stares feel very burdensome. Feels like I'm in a zoo all over again. Damn articles...'
Massaging my face, I nodded at the woman in front of me.
"Hello."
