"Ms. Tatum, this is the cold water you asked for," said the employee as she walked across the room and handed the glass in her hand to Hailee. She smiled pleasantly and nodded sheepishly at Lexus.
"She is Mrs. Tordoff now," Lexus corrected the clerk. Yes, Hailee has officially become Mrs. Tordoff less than six hours ago and Lexus wanted everyone to remember it the right away.
The employee laughed softly as she patted her forehead. "Yes, Mrs. Tordoff, I mean. Sorry I forgot."
"It's okay ..." Hailee waved her hand and smiled knowingly at the girl, not wanting to prolong this trivial matter.
"You don't need to mention it out loud, I find it strange," Hailee said in a low voice, which only Lexus could hear as she took a sip of her drink.
