Whitney lowered her gaze gently, awaiting the precise moment when he stepped into the room.

“Why would you partner with them? Was this intentional? To embarrass me, to make me look bad in front of the Perlman family? Whitney, you’re so cruel!”

Whitney’s arm and her face turned icy instantly, “Simon, what are you doing?”
