Paige Summers's hand, hanging at her side, twitched twice. Her icy gaze was fixed on the newcomer.
The newcomer, however, offered a friendly smile. "Paige Summers, do you have a moment? It took me forever to find this place. I was hoping we could talk openly and clear up the misunderstanding between us."
The words were barely out of her mouth when Wendy Lowell, inside the room, let out a small gasp.
She hurried over, her eyes darting between Paige Summers and the newcomer. "Nora! You and Paige know each other?"
When Nora Lowell saw her, she showed a similar expression of surprise. "Auntie? What are you doing here?!"
Hearing this term of address, Paige Summers frowned imperceptibly.
She watched Nora Lowell put on an affectionate display for Wendy Lowell, as if she knew nothing, and found the situation utterly ridiculous.
'Wendy Lowell might fall for it, but I never will!'
