Loraine wasn't really inclined toward meeting her so-called relatives. They do not even know each other that much. But she still needed to meet them to avoid any problems that they might cause.
"Miss Loraine, it's already 9:00 am, but some are still not yet present," Sarah reported while looking at the number of attendees.
See? They were already causing trouble by being late. They were not that sincere in meeting with her. They probably already knew she was likely overloaded with work now due to her father missing, and yet they come and waste her time.
They might have even intentionally decided to come late just to delay her work or show her that they were more important than she was.
The nerve. They were clearly an exhausting bunch. Lorraine didn't want to see them. The more minutes that ticked by, the more she wanted to just say she was busy with something and could not meet with them anymore.
Still, she had to keep her cool and be level-headed.
