Zoe Bell saw her, but her heart sank a notch.
She was supposed to go to the Payne Family to pick up some incense sticks, but got so caught up in watching the drama unfold that she forgot her errand. Now with guests arriving, she felt extremely embarrassed.
"I'm really sorry, I haven't retrieved the items yet."
"I'll come back another day then."
"I'm truly sorry."
"I was too hasty."
"Please, don't worry about it. Have a seat and enjoy a cup of tea before you go." Zoe Bell was hospitable, so her guest took a seat.
"Sister-in-law, who is that?" Michale Shaw asked in private.
"My guest."
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
"This is an incense shop, not a matchmaking agency. I don't pry into my customers' private lives," Zoe Bell laughed softly. "Do you like her?"
"It was love at first sight."
"..."
Zoe Bell didn't believe his nonsense; Michale Shaw was just like Wyatt Hale, always bluffing.
She immediately warned him, "Keep your distance from my guests."
