“You took a knife for her, but she doesn’t appreciate it at all,” Paola complained.

No sooner had her words been spoken than a figure appeared before them.

Upon seeing the person, Paola sarcastically said, “Speak of the devil.”

The trio at the door watched as Eileen suddenly left. They had no idea what she was up to. All they saw was her bowing deeply, too far away to hear what was said.

She extended a hand.

George slowly extended his hand shyly. “I’m George Caddel.”

“Thank you.”
