There was a knock on the door . Ellie made a low sound to indicate the person could come in and was surprised to see that it was Michael who was holding the door open for a young woman . Ellie straighened herself with surprise as Michael bowed . "I apologize profusely madam, but this lady has been here before and as you did not give me permission to disinvite her, I have given her a liberty this once, if you please . "
Olga smiled with her beige handbag strung between tightly held fingers as she smiled thinly in her office dress . Ellie nodded at Michael who closed the door behind him . Olga put her bag on a table while she took a seat on the armchair closest to where Ellie was seated on the bed .
