When Inez was done with the meeting, she packed her things and walked out of the empty corridors of the main lodge. She came across a few omegas who continued their jobs without saying a word of greeting to her.
On her way, she ran into Morrineth, who was supposed to be sick and staying in the lodge, talking with the man whom Inez had seen before. The two of them shook their hands, and with a nod, Morrineth said to the man, "I will arrange for everything as you have told me."
After speaking, she paused and turned to look at Inez upon hearing the sound of footsteps. When she saw that it was none other than Inez, her eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance. She said to Inez, "What are you doing here?"
"Walking. Is that not allowed?" Inez asked with a tilt of her head.
"Then continue walking," Morrineth sneered. "Why are you stopping here?" She seemed to be distressed and disgusted just at the very sight of Inez, as if just looking at her made Morrineth lose several breaths.
