Chapter 462

Whitney glanced over at Sandy, "So, Sandy, you..."

"Whitney, since Mr. Nelson invited you, I guess I'll sit this one out," Sandy said, her tone cold and timid, her demeanor towards Shane distant and detached.

Shane squinted his eyes, a smile on his face that betrayed no emotion, "The more the merrier, right? Is she your assistant?"

"Yes, this is Sandy, my cousin," Whitney introduced.

"Oh, Sienna's sister, right?" Shane seemed to recall.

Whitney chuckled. She was new to Emperor City, and while it was expected for the local elite to be well-acquainted, Sandy, being a child out of wedlock, probably didn't mingle in the same circles as Sienna. It seemed Sandy didn't know Shane. The group sat around the table, an awkward silence hanging in the air.

"I got this burn cream, top-notch stuff the hospital recommended. Won't leave a scar," Shane said, pulling out a tube.

Whitney grimaced, "I told you, I didn't burn myself."

Shane, seemingly disinterested, tossed the cream on the table, catching a glimpse of Sandy biting her lip, his brow furrowing slightly.

With a smirk, he handed the cream to Whitney, "Well, whoever needs it, can use it!"

Whitney thought about it; the cream, especially if bought by Mr. Nelson, wouldn't be cheap, so she accepted it, "Sandy, I'll have my assistant give it to you later."

Sandy was studying the menu, her short, ink-black hair covering her collarbone and brushing against her wound, causing her pain. She gasped softly.

Shane glanced at the assistant, who immediately helped Sandy with her hair.
