I’m not going to get involved in whatever it is between you guys, but of course, I still have to apologize to you on behalf of Pia for that slap. I reprimanded her last night, but given how spoiled she is, it’s hard to make her listen to me.”

“As I said, I won’t get myself involved in whatever’s between you guys,” Garrick reiterated without letting her finish her explanation. He then handed her a gift. “A token of my apology. Please accept it.”
