"How dare you speak to me like that?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Melody trembled with anger and humiliation. She had never been addressed so disrespectfully, and her shock was palpable.
The officer, however, remained unmoved. "I've been very polite already. From the moment you walked in, you demanded to see our chief. Do you think anyone can just meet with him? You're impossible." "You..." Melody's hand shook as she pointed at the officer, her vision blurring with rage.
The officer leaned in, his voice stern. "Who are you pointing at? This is police station, not a place for your tantrums."
Marion, observing the escalating tension, raised a hand to silence the officer. He said flatly, "We should show respect when dealing with the elderly."
The officer quickly nodded in agreement. "You're right, Mr. Houston. It's my fault."
Marion offered a slight smile. "Since Mrs. Nichols Sr. wants to see your chief so badly, bring him here."
"Alright, I'll call him right away," the officer replied, hastily exiting the room to summon the chief.
He returned shortly, his breath slightly ragged. "Mr. Houston, our chief says he'll come immediately since it's your request. Please wait here for a moment."
Melody's expression shifted as she realized the extent of Marion's influence. It was clear that in Seamar City, his authority surpassed hers.
She slammed her hand on the table, her anger boiling over. "How dare Pedro defy me like this? He must have forgotten that back when he was just a captain, he tried to flatter me, and I couldn't even be bothered to see him."
