Madam, What a Surprise

Elijah looked at the missy who refused to make another sound. Unlike before, he couldn't cajole her into saying anything, not that he was good at doing so. However, he wanted to know.

Before he could say something, his eyes suddenly darted in a direction. He saw a man in a suit walking toward them, but the man stopped walking as if he was stung by Elijah's glare. However, he continued walking toward them nonetheless. After all, his business was with the missy instead.

"Ms. Allard, fancy running into you here." The man greeted Keagan, and the missy flinched in surprise. He then smiled fully upon getting her attention. "Ms. Allard, hello, you seem to be so busy today. Are you here for an appointment, too?"
