There were only two people in the booth. 

Byron scanned the booth once before his gaze finally landed on his daughter. 

The little girl was feeling wronged after Rosalie upped and left all of a sudden just now but seeing her own daddy now, not only was she fearful, she even sunk her head grumpily. 

Byron’s gaze sunk slightly. 

“Little lady, are you all right?” 

Both father and daughter were sullen, and this was where Luther, the assistant came in handy. 

The little girl glanced at him and turned away angrily, ignoring him. 

Luther scrutinized her carefully. Noting that she was safe and sound, he was relieved and turned back to report to Byron. 

Byron nodded and his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the woman sitting next to his daughter. 

When their gazes met, Mary’s heart constricted and pinched the palm of her hand, only then did she manage to keep her expression steady. 

“Where is Rosalie?” 

Byron glanced over Mary’s face. Seeing her clearly, his expression sank slightly. 

He recognized Rosalie! 

Mary was shocked on behalf of her best friend and was glad that she got away in time. 

The man was so imposing that she found it a little tough to breathe. 

If Rosalie had been here, who knows what would have happened!
