Brandon Piers hung up the phone, muttering after a long pause, "These shameless people."
Then he looked down at the time; it was not even five o'clock.
Thinking that it was still more than four hours until bedtime, Brandon felt very irritable.
Why had he never thought time during the day was so long before?
But then he realized he had been too rough with Abigail last night. In the evening, he might only be able to hug a quilt and sleep soundly, feeling even more depressed. He picked up his phone and dialed Michael Piers' number. "I remember you mentioned before that Director Locke had an unsuccessful first love?"
Michael, holding the phone, looked bewildered. When did the second young master start caring about their personal lives? He thought it was a bit terrifying.
But terrifying or not, since the question was not about him, Michael was happy to watch the drama. "Yeah, so what?"
