@iqbabe ; Mei Lin's office
"Ivy, darling, I'm so glad you're looking well," Mei Lin said with a sigh of relief as she got up from her desk and circled around the glass structure so she could place her fingers lightly below Ivy's chin, as if examining her to make sure she was unharmed and flawless. "After all the excitement, I've wanted to personally make sure you're all fine. There was such a rush, and it was such a shock…" She trailed off, shaking her head as if to dismiss the thoughts even though the events of the Gala were all she could think about lately. Things were changing, the power dynamic of Los Angeles was changing and Mei Lin wasn't about to be swept away by it. "I trust you understand that this is a very trying time and it's important to keep up relations."
