She decided to go outside of the ballroom to get some fresh air. As expected, her bodyguards were waiting outside for her. 

"Ms. Hamilton, is there a problem?" Ben, her security, asked as he came closer to her.

She could not see any harm happening to her in the garden. She just felt that she could use some alone time without eyes watching her. For a few minutes, she wanted to relax her mind.

"I'm sorry, Miss. But we can't do that." Ben informed her, still standing in attention as the other of his companion remained in their stations.
