"Are you all deranged!? "

The Vice president, clearly frustrated spoke at the entrance of the building, while his bodyguards were passing one by one, only after being cleared by my own personnel.

"We have a new policy at the entrance of armed personnel, they are to be checked out by security to see if they are all carrying their permits. I promise you, this is for your protection sir. "

My own security guy proclaimed "Sir. the system is not recognizing one of the permits. "

"It's this guard here. " And the security guard pointed at Maryam.

Maryam tried to remain stoic, but I could definitely see a glimpse of panic on her brow.

"I am sure that it's just a system glitch, but for now, I will have to contain her, at least while she is in this building. I would hate for you to get hurt, especially seeing that you are a valued client of ours. "

"As soon as we are done with the meeting, she will be released. "

The vice president sighed and threw his arms in defeat.

"Follow me, sir. "
