After we met with Amanda, we directly entered the building.
Instantly I was left speechless by the grandeur of the place. The place reminded me of my parent's guild lobby. But a lot more spacious and luxurious.
Standing at the front of a lobby, a young man that looked to be in his mid-thirties came to greet us.
Maxwell Benson, Amanda's personal assistant.
Spotting me, he held out his hand with a warm smile. He gave off a good first impression, like an older brother next door. Competency aside, it was because of the impression he gave off that he was chosen to be Amanda's assistant.
"Ren Dover, right?"
"Yes."
I shook his hand.
"And I'm sure I don't need to introduce myself to Melissa, right?"
Melissa smiled at Maxwell's words. She had already met him before. Turning his attention back to Amanda, he offered.
"Young miss, shall I give the two a tour?"
"Nah, I'm good. I've already been here before. Plus, we've got more important things to do"
Before Amanda could respond, Melissa instantly refused. Maxwell smiled at her response.
"Very well, then I shall escort you to the meeting place"
"Hey wait, I didn't say I didn't want to hear about this place"
I immediately protested. Unlike her, this was my first time here.
"No one asked you"
Unfortunately, I was immediately cut off by Melissa who quickly moved towards the elevator area.
Out of pity, Maxwell briefly introduced me to the place. Together with Melissa, and Amanda, we stood in front of the elevator.
"The first and second floor as you can see are the areas which we attend and greet our guests. From the second floor up, there are the offices for the contracted heroes that are currently working under us..."
Ding—!
The elevator then arrived, and Maxwell hopped in and pressed the button that led to the fifth floor. Amanda who was next to him pressed another button.
She had other things to do and so she couldn't stay with us. She only came to the bottom floor to greet us.
Ding—!
[Fifth floor]
After a brief moment, the elevator arrived on the fifth floor. Bidding Amanda goodbye and exiting the elevator, I saw a large circle-shaped lobby and office doors spaced out along the wall.
Navigating through the fifth floor, Maxwell guided me, and Melissa to a rather spacious office. A large round table stood in the middle with special triangular-shaped devices in front of each seat.
Standing by the side of the office, Maxwell politely smiled.
"Please make yourself comfortable. This is where the meeting will be held. Briefly, the master will contact you. In the meantime, whilst you're waiting for the master and the elders to attend, I'd suggest you set up your presentation. Aside from that, you can contact me if you need anything else"
Maxwell turned his head left and right and checked the room. Seeing that everything was set up, he bid farewell.
"It seems like there's nothing left for me to do here. If you need anything else, please let me know. If you'll excuse me now, I must leave."
"I understand, thank you"
Nodding my head, I politely bid Maxwell goodbye.
Entering the office, heeding his suggestion, Melissa and I got quick to work. We quickly inserted the USB inside of the projector and loaded the presentation up.
After a while, I clapped my hand in satisfaction. Turning the projector on, I curiously asked Melissa.
"Is it ready?"
"Should be"
"Do you remember your lines?"
Prior to today, I had memorized my lines. This was so that I wouldn't screw it up.
"What lines? I don't do lines"
After a minute of silence, I turned my attention back to Edward Stern.
"Very well, let's listen to what your terms are..."
