"No way. You're a prisoner. You can't leave the room," James replied.

"You can follow me, can't you? Do you think I can run in my current state?" Scarlett could not understand his stubbornness.

James was firm. "Without orders from above, you can't take a single step out of this room."

Seeing he was unmoved, Scarlett's expression hardened. "What if I insist on seeing her?"
