Nathael spoke solemnly, “For Maggie’s sake, I will not pursue today’s matter further.”

Ronald and Sierra both sighed in relief. Ronald quickly responded, “Rest assured, Mr. Harris, I will have Sierra personally apologise to Maggie.”

On the tray, there was a cup of steaming hot water, so freshly boiled that mist clung to the sides of the cup, and steam rose continuously.

Upon seeing Ethan, Sierra instinctively stepped back two steps, and seeing the boiling water in fron him made her even more uneasy.
