Winona had a sweet voice and a warm smile. With her persuasive words, she was convinced no one could turn her down.

Yvonne gracefully stood up and said with an elegant smile, “Mr. Murray, please follow me.”

She couldn’t help but admire Winona, agreeing with her completely. She knew she had a lot to learn from Winona about being feminine. Winona’s words were so classy, but she effortlessly dissed Isabella and trashed her reputation.

Clayton smiled faintly, but his smile was as co

Clayton’s gaze fell on the door at the end of the corridor, and he walked over without hesitation.
