The three of them turned around simultaneously and saw James smiling at

Reese.

Noticing James's mixed smile, Cole cast a worried glance at Reese.

Reese pursed her lips slightly and whispered, "Director, you and Ava go in first. I'll talk to him."

Cole's eyes reflected his concern. "Are you sure you can handle it alone?"

Seeing Reese's confidence, Cole gave some instructions. "All right, if anything happens, just call."

Reese nodded. "Sure, also, please take care of Ava more since she's not used to such occasions."
