Just as Calista decided to ignore her and pass her by, Mirabelle suddenly asked in a hushed voice, “Could we step aside for a chat?”

Someone grabbed her arm in the hallway, so Calista had no choice but to turn around. She looked at Mirabelle somewhat helplessly and replied, “I really don’t have anything to say to you.”
