"Ehem… ahem… Sorry about that, Miss Kaylee… Uhm… can I call you sister from now on? You will soon become my brother's wife, after all."
Kaylee was flabbergasted, but she answered her friend… er… her future sister-in-law nevertheless.
"Yes, I don't mind. Nice to meet you… Uhm…" Kaylee pretended didn't know her name.
"My name's Leticia Campbell, but you can call me Letti. And one more thing, please forget what I said earlier. Good night and see you later."
Tut. Tut. Tut.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely quiet once Letti's voice had disappeared. Kaylee didn't dare raise her head because she was sure she would see a triumphant smile on the face of this shameless man.
"I think you managed to make two people hate you tonight."
"Thank you. I'm an expert in this field."
That's not a compliment! Why does this man sound so proud?
