Teasing Carolyn.

Soon all the cooking was finished and everyone could finally rest and eat. 

Some like Carolyn and Fey were already eating. Even Scarlet had taken a bite of her fish. 

"Are we eating in here or out there with them men?" Emory asked them. 

"Here." Carolyn answered with a mouthful of fish. 

She wanted to eat as comfortably as she could with legs raised up on another chair. How could sit in such an unruly way around Etienne Wu or Emmett Wu? 

Moreover, she was rather enjoying eating with her hands and talking about frivolous topics. She was not in the mood to listen to talk about taxes, trade agreements, laws and the like. She listened to them all the time thanks to Markay. 

It was okay to take a day off. 

Gertrude brought Halley and Gregor over with Illa. 

"Give her to me." Scarlet held her hands out for her sister.
