HEART-BREAK
"Grant, could you excuse me and Ace's wife. I want to speak to her alone."
Grant began to fidget. He absolutely could not leave Fay alone with Celine. Ace would kill him if he found out.
On the other hand, he couldn't go against Celine Atticus to her face. She would destroy him.
He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"I believe I'm talking to someone with functional ears," Celine repeated when he made no attempt to move away.
Fay winced inwardly. Celine was such a scary woman. Even scarier than her aunt, and she used to think her aunt was one of the scariest people in the world.
"Ma'am, the boss asked that she come with me. I'm sorry bu–"
"But what? And who's this boss you speak of?" She casually interrupted him.
"I– I meant Sir A-ce," he stuttered.
"Then call him by his name, and not some made up title. Boss," she muttered under her breath and scoffed.
