I frowned slightly, “Edith, can you go keep Christine company for a bit? I’ve got something to handle over here…” Edith gave me a thumbs up and made her way to Christine, cleverly blocking her line of sight to the unfolding drama. I quickly sought out Gregory.

Gregory had already spotted the situation and was moving towards Dailey.

Clarence looked genuinely hurt, “I was speaking up for you.”
