They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 22: Out of Place

"You all go ahead," he instructed firmly. "I need to see someone first. And remember, be nice to her. Nnenna is one of us, and we all know that, whether we admit it or not."

Queen Chioma raised a brow at his words but said nothing. The other siblings exchanged glances, reluctant yet obedient, and began making their way inside.

Somto watched them for a moment, ensuring they complied, before adjusting his suit and heading toward another wing of the hospital.

Somto arrived at the director's office, his polished shoes echoing faintly in the hallway. He stopped at the secretary's desk, his face cold and firm.

"Good afternoon. Is Director Ikenna around? I would like to speak with him."

The secretary, a middle aged woman with sharp eyes and a meticulous demeanor, glanced up from her computer. "Do you have an appointment with the Director?" she asked, her tone professional and slightly guarded.

Somto shook his head slowly but confidently. "No, I don't. Just let him know that Somto is here," he replied evenly, his voice carrying the quiet assurance of someone who wasn't used to being turned away.

The receptionist smiled politely but firmly. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you go in without an appointment. He's the director, you know, and you'll need an appointment first," she explained before shifting her attention back to her screen, signaling the conversation was over.

Somto glanced at his phone, ready to call Ikenna directly, when the door to the office swung open with a loud creak.

"Did I just hear Somto's voice?" Ikenna exclaimed, his tone filled with surprise and excitement as he stepped out. His eyes lit up as they landed on the tall figure of the First Prince. "You're really here!"
