"Ms. Lane is an honored guest of Mr. Hodds. She isn't someone you can meet as you like." The man at the door looked difficult to deal with.

"Unless Mrs. Grant comes out and tells us that herself, how are we supposed to know if you're stopping her from coming out?"

Looking at Keith's righteous appearance at this moment, I simply thought he was ridiculous.

I knew he had been working with Theo and was his confidant, so he was surely involved in helping Theo to contact Alex. Perhaps he even knew all the details.
