Feeling drained after hours of crying, Emily finally gathered enough courage to exit her room. To her surprise, the house was in full swing, with all the house helps setting the dinner table and cooking various meals. "What is going on here?" Emily questioned one of the employees walking by.
"Mr. Sorrentino—"
"I ordered them to prepare a feast; I have invited my family to come over for dinner this evening," Emily turned as soon as she heard Angelo's voice. "You may leave," he instructed the employee, who nodded her head and left.
Feeling slightly embarrassed for how she had acted earlier, Emily hugged herself and chose to look away from Angelo.
"Oh! Enjoy your dinner with your family then," she told him. She tried walking away, but once again, Angelo blocked her path.
