At the hotel entrance, the black Hongqi had just arrived and steadily parked in front of the Imperial Hotel.
The driver headed to the parking lot without getting out, so it was Alfred Garland who stepped out first, pulling open the car door for the passengers in the back and cast a glance at the steps of the Imperial Hotel. He said softly, "Amadeus, Ms. Quinlan, we have arrived."
Nathalie Quinlan had just finished a game and had put away her phone, only then noticing the car had stopped; they had already reached their dining destination.
She got out of the car leisurely, pulling down the brim of her hat to check her phone.
Once she exited the game on her phone's screen, there were quite a few unread messages.
Silvania Ingram and Shawn Norton were both asking if she had gotten off the airplane.
Nathalie Quinlan replied to each message.
But it was Sadam Vinson's message that came last, asking: "Nathalie, have you arrived?"
Nathalie Quinlan hadn't replied yet.
