Steve Harris only glanced in Mallia Mamet's direction, and Director Lee understood what Steve wanted: It wasn't just about Steve going in, he wanted Mallia to join him.
Forget it, let it be awkward. Director Lee knew that since he had already agreed to let Steve in, it would be meaningless to let just one person enter. He might as well take the hit himself and go back to explain things properly to Claire.
"Mrs. Mamet, please come inside with us!" Director Lee approached Mallia, extending his hand to offer support, giving her full face.
Mallia was a bit surprised. Just moments ago, she had been left out in the cold on her own, but now, because of Steve's clout, she was being shown considerable respect. Did she really have no status without Steve? She had always thought she wielded considerable influence in this circle!
"Director Lee, isn't it inappropriate to go in at this time?"
