Maria smiled faintly and waved at Sidney, like greeting an old friend. Sidney, however, coldly averted his gaze and walked off with Diana. Maria finally got a clear look at the girl, who was undeniably beautiful. Herman got into the car and asked, "Miss Conner, where do you live?" Maria gave him the address.

"Thank you, Mr. Evans."

Herman chuckled lightly. "You're Tiana's friend, no need to be so formal with me."
