"How could it be? Just a little girl, hasn't even fully developed yet, how could she be a match for that handsome guy."
"Exactly, such a good-looking man, his standards must be high, there's no way he'd be interested in her."
Strangely enough, with so many people in the hall, and so many mouths talking at once, Scarlett Yates still managed to hear the women talking smack about her.
Each one went further than the last, putting her down as worthless.
Out of nowhere, she became the target of these women's jealous rants, and Scarlett was furious.
Absolutely furious.
She remembered warning Knox Simmons just after leaving the tea shop, that while he was with her, he shouldn't be flirting around.
He promised wholeheartedly, but it hasn't been long and he's back at it again.
But if he wants to flirt, let him flirt; problem is, it's made her a target for attacks.
How could she tolerate this!
"Knox Simmons!" she hissed in warning.
