The guards accompanied the three guests to the head office. The dwarfs were radiant with happiness! They locked their fingers in admiration, put their hands to their chests and looked at Zosimos with sparkling eyes like his devoted fans. They seemed to have been given the honor of accompanying Thor himself!
Eve and Leila had not spoken a word since Zosimos said the secret password. They couldn't wrap their heads around what had happened. How could their father provoke such an emotional reaction from the dwarfs! Why were they being escorted directly to the head of the plant? Wasn't it too much honor for an ordinary person without a family name?
Five people entered the elevator. When the guard pressed a combination of buttons, it did not go up, as one would expect, but forward, judging by the thrust, with great speed! Eve was a little scared, but she quickly understood what was going on and calmed down.
The ride took about a minute. Then the elevator stopped.
