The building was quite large and luxurious. As far as she could remember, the Red Obsidian Trading House had never owned an office like this in the Imperial Capital.
Could Nolan have bought this building before the trading house was declared bankrupt? she wondered silently.
She took a deep breath, pushed her confusion aside, and stepped inside.
Several guards and staff were standing in front of the door. As soon as they saw Melinda, a flicker of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Welcome, Concubine Melinda," they greeted respectfully.
Melinda observed them one by one. There were three men—two guards and one staff member. From their demeanor, it was clear they were long-time employees of the Red Obsidian Trading House, so they recognized her immediately.
"Thank you for the welcome," Melinda replied softly. "I want to ask—how is the Red Obsidian Trading House doing? And how did it come to have an office building in the capital? Isn't it located in the eastern region?"
