Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Before he could finish, Martin slammed the table. He yelled at Jeremiah, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here? Don't pretend to be something you're not!"

I shivered at his sudden outburst and involuntarily looked at Martin. I could tell that his words were actually aimed at me. Martin was quite arrogant.

I chuckled, breaking the tension. Leaning back in my chair, I glanced casually at Martin and remarked, "Looks like you have quite the temper, Mr. Martin."

He raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. He's short-tempered."

I forced a strained smile. "It seems dinner isn't coming."

The unidentified man immediately gestured to lower the tension. "Martin, don't be so angry. Ms. Chloe is a young lady, and you might scare her off. Jeremiah, hurry and check on dinner!"
