Haris’ expression stiffened.

“What? What did you do to them?”

“Wasn’t I clear enough? They were pieces of trash, so I took the trash out, of course.”

Haris’ face turned green, but he remained unperturbed. “What gives you the confidence to barge into my courtyard without permission? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll do something to her?”
