Inside Eric's apartment, the air was tense as the silence was brutal.

Eric rubbed the back of his head as he watched the three women in his small dining area.

Evangeline's expression was pinched. Her eyes were narrowed, lips pressing into white slash, arms crossing, and feet tapping. Her features were tightening by the minute.

While their unexpected guest, Satele Risova, was feigning fake interest at her surroundings. And the one who brought her along was just sitting there, munching lunch without a care in the world.

Eric's forehead throbbed as he felt a headache coming. He didn't even know how Lilybella and Satele knew each other, and he didn't have the time to ask when Satele stood to her feet.

"I better go," she said.

Lilybella grabbed her hand and protested, "But you just got here, and you hadn't even touch your food."

Satele swatted her arm away. "I know when I'm not welcome."
