Chapter 60

Rosalie's anger made Theodore uneasy, making him feel like a child who had been caught misbehaving.

Worried that Rosalie might make herself sick with anger, Stephanie was about to comfort her friend, when suddenly, a voice broke the silence.

"Ms. Carter, I'm sorry."

Stephanie thought she had misheard, until she looked up and met the man's apologetic gaze. Although he didn't seem remorseful, the fact that he had apologized to her for Rosalie's sake was already surprising enough.

Stephanie was so surprised that she momentarily forgot how to respond. After a few seconds, she regained her composure and
