As Dalton approached, Vesta offered him a polite, reserved smile. "Mr. Ramirez."

Dalton glanced around before asking, "Why are you here on your own? Where's Mr. Henderson?"

Vesta's smile faltered.

Noticing her change in demeanor, Dalton pressed on. "Is it because of Charlene?"

Before Vesta could respond, Dalton cast a frosty glance across the room in Charlene's direction. "Someone like her, managing to get ahead the way she does -sometimes I think the world really isn't fair. Even Mr. Kenton and his wife seem quite taken with her."
