The next morning when Tiana went downstairs, she saw Steve on the sofa in the living room with Debi. Spotting Tiana, Steve revealed an amiable smile and asked, "Tiana, did you sleep well last night?"
"It was good," Tiana replied plainly.
"Let's have breakfast!" As soon as Steve got up, Debi followed suit too. With a smile plastered on her face, she explained, "Steve had Maisy make you your favourite breakfast. He's been waiting for you to have it together."
"Thank you!" Tiana forced herself to say the words. The truth was she did not feel grateful at their kind gestures at all. In fact, she hated seeing their hypocritical smiles.
If it were not for Eric, she would not have the energy nor interest to interact with them.
Because of Tiana's return, Steve chose not to go to work. It was unprecedented, but he stayed at home to accompany Tiana. Nevertheless, he was still busy entertaining numerous phone calls one after another.
