Girlfriend's Mother

Jack and Sherry frowned as they stood at the grand gates of the Merry mansion, blocked by a guard who eyed them with skepticism.

Sherry pulled out her phone, her expression calm but her tone sharp as she called Mirta. "Hello, Director Mirta? It's Sherry. We're outside your gate, but your guard doesn't let us in."

The guard stiffened at her words, a nervous twitch crossing his face. He muttered something under his breath, clearly sensing trouble. A moment later, his phone buzzed loudly in his pocket. He snatched it up with shaky hands, only to flinch as a stern voice barked at him on the other end.

"Yes, sir! I understand, sir!" the guard stammered, his face turning pale as he listened to the reprimand from the head guard. He ended the call and immediately turned toward Jack and Sherry, his demeanor changing entirely.
