Mamie couldn't describe her mood.
Her eyes were puffy and it felt like her world had been turned upside down.
To others, it might have been a trivial matter from the past, but to her, it was of utmost significance.
Suddenly, Mamie stood up, "Thanks for telling me all this. I've got some stuff to deal with, so I'm gonna head out."
With that, Mamie left the lounge.
Agnes speculated she was probably going to look for Ivan to verify the matter.
She heaved a sigh.
She wasn't sure if it was a good thing for Mamie to tell her about it, but anyway, it was the truth. About half an hour later, Ivan's secretary Faye came to find Agnes, "Ms. Pritchard, the CEO would like to see you."
Agnes followed Faye to the CEO's office.
One entire wall of Ivan's office was a massive floor-to-ceiling window. He was standing by the window, his back to Agnes, his shadow stretching long.
Agnes knocked softly on the door.
Ivan turned his head.
Agnes closed the door behind her and walked in.
"Did you tell Mamie that I was the one who saved her from drowning when she was little?" Ivan asked first.
Agnes nodded, "Why haven't you ever explained it to her, knowing she's been misunderstanding it all these years?"
