“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.”

She extended a hand.

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

“Thank you.”
