James Thompson glanced around the art exhibition before approaching Madame Bell with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Madame Bell, let's have a talk."
Madame Bell had guessed that James Thompson came to her this time because of Julia Land.
Chloe Sullivan gripped Madame Bell's hand tightly, also surmising the purpose of James's visit.
Madame Bell gently patted the back of Chloe's hand and nodded lightly.
Chloe, still worried, followed Madame Bell.
The three of them went to the exhibition's office.
James Thompson pulled over a chair, distancing himself from Madame Bell and Chloe, "Madame Bell, thank you for taking care of my little Julia."
His words carried a cold irony.
Madame Bell's face changed slightly, with displeasure evident in her eyes.
Although James Thompson held a certain status in Capital City, he was after all a junior, and such an attitude made her uncomfortable.
