After entertaining the guests with Nathael for a while, Maggie found a reason to retreat to the terrace on the second floor for some fresh air and rest.

Beth glanced at the woman beside her. Maggie was undeniably beautiful. There was something about her that was both lively and haughty, with a hint of coldness, that could easily attract men.

Maggie smiled, not particularly fazed, and said, “I thought you’d come up with something more creative, Ms. Bray. But it seems you’re sticking to the same old lines.
