Sean glanced back at the departing Elaine and shook his head.
By the time he hurried to the council hall, Yuri Sinclair was already walking out, his expression stern. "What took you so long?"
"Oh, I ran into Elaine from the Imperial Concubine's side on the way. We exchanged a few words, so I was delayed," Sean quickly explained.
Yuri Sinclair descended the steps with brisk, powerful strides and headed for the VIP car. Sean followed closely, not daring to be the least bit careless.
"Elaine? What did she say to you?" Yuri Sinclair raised an eyebrow. A guard held the door open, and he ducked inside.
"The Imperial Concubine said she wants to buy medical equipment today and asked me to take her. I figured you had matters to attend to, so I refused," Sean said honestly.
