Bryan stopped abruptly and muttered a curse. It seemed like it was always the wrong place or the wrong time.

Adalina parted her lips to reply, but before she could speak, Milford walked in and interjected, “Is there an issue if I use more than one account?”

He snorted coldly, settling into a chair to read the study materials.
