Vivienne's eyes grew wide with surprise when she saw Lucas standing there. For a moment, she forgot her fear and frustration. She quickly explained, "I was just coming back from a party when the police stopped me." Her voice sounded annoyed and a little bit helpless.
While Vivienne spoke, Daniel walked over to Lucas. He said, "President, we can go now."
Vivienne stared at Daniel in shock. She wondered, why can Lucas leave so easily, but I can't? She remembered how she had told the police she knew Sebastian Kane, a very important man in the city, but they still wouldn't let her pass the checkpoint. Now, Lucas seemed to have even more power than Sebastian. This confused and upset her. Was Lucas really more important now?
