“Oh?” I said calmly. “I’m afraid I have nothing to discuss with you.”

“Adelaide!” Ashton’s face turned red as he clenched his fists in fury.

Damon grinned, looking like he was enjoying the scene.

“This isn’t a show and tell,” I snapped, “Don’t you have your own job, or is the great Damon Steyn too busy for regular work?”

Damon just smiled, looking around at the set as he let me rant.

“Not even listening to me. Typical Steyn,” 1 huffed as the rest of my frustration drained out of me. My emotions settled as I calmed down. Usually, Damon would be happy to argue back with me, but not today, it seemed. I was the tiniest bit grateful for that. I didn’t have the energy to keep up with his
