Helen Melendy heard the implication in Harry Hall's words and, fearing he might say something in front of Elly Campbell, quickly spoke:
"If you want to talk, let's talk. You have two minutes."
With that, she let go of Elly Campbell's hand and swiftly walked toward a less crowded area.
Harry Hall, with a dark expression, followed her and when they reached the corner of the hallway, he pushed Helen Melendy against the wall behind her, his towering figure pressing up against her.
"Helen Melendy, what are you trying to say?"
The gravelly voice, laden with restrained anger, came from above Helen Melendy's head.
Pinned against the cold wall by Harry Hall, the cramped space between them made Helen Melendy feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She frowned but maintained an air of nonchalance and said, "What do you mean, 'what am I trying to say'?"
Harry Hall was driven to laughter by her indifferent attitude, "So, you don't care at all about what happened that night?"
