As soon as Bertha Haines got off the plane, she was taken by Manson to Nine Clouds Mountain, where the banquet had already begun and the guests were enjoying themselves.
Amos Smith was surrounded in the center of the lounge, chatting idly with a few childhood friends, but his expression seemed to be somewhat... uncomfortable.
"Bertha!"
Maya Mu had been watching the door, and as soon as she saw her friend come in, she immediately went over to greet her.
"Why didn't you put on makeup? Did you see those little fairies? They dressed up meticulously just to meet my uncle."
Bertha indeed had not applied makeup today, mainly because...
"Your uncle doesn't like me wearing makeup."
Maya: "…Alright then."
Just as Bertha and Maya exchanged a couple of words, Amos suddenly disappeared.
Maya: "He probably went to take a call; my uncle is very busy all the time."
