[Ellie's P.O.V.]
It wasn't the first time Rowling and Yili met since the former was the guide during the last Alpha Conference. The first words that came out of Yili's mouth were that she remembered Rowling. "You were the one who welcomed us at the Alpha Conference."
"That was my job." Rowling looked at me with understanding and smiled.
I started to get a little worried that Yili would ask why I wasn't there that day. I couldn't possibly tell her that I was intentionally avoiding her. However, no matter what we feared, we couldn't avoid it forever. And so came Yili's question.
I hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Something happened to Myron that day and so I had to leave the hotel. By the time I came back, the conference was already over."
