Evelyn suddenly changed the subject.
Her voice remained steady, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"I apologize."
Although it was an apology, her tone held not the slightest hint of remorse. It sounded more like she was stating an objective fact.
"Leaving you waiting in the hall for two hours, without even sparing you a glance, is indeed not in line with the Saint Claude Family's code of hospitality."
Leo raised an eyebrow.
He hadn't expected this arrogant woman to bring it up herself.
"No problem," Leo said lightly. "The sofas there were quite comfortable, and it gave me a chance to observe the ecosystem of Philadelphia's high society. It was very interesting, especially the banker who kept trying to make you laugh. His comical performance was worth the price of admission."
"It was a test."
Evelyn ignored Leo's sarcasm.
"A test?"
"Yes. A stress test."
Evelyn followed Leo's lead, retreating as her high heels clicked crisply on the floor.
