He couldn’t bear to watch Christopher stuttering and hesitating, so he bluntly stated, “Your brother has offended our Miss Hurry over here, apologize to our Miss, and take this useless brother of yours away.”

Jonathan inquired, “Offended your Miss? Who is she?”

The man glanced at Florence, who was listening in on speakerphone, and handed her the phone as Jonathan repeated his question. Florence casually replied, “It’s me, Miss Florence Shelton,” and then abruptly ended the call, tossing the phone onto Christopher.

Christopher, seeing Jonathan, scrambled up, seeking refuge.
