Scarlett was taken aback as she watched Simon lower his head slightly in her direction. She felt like hot coal was burning beneath her seat.
How on earth did she make a king apologize to her?
She now imagines this king will definitely plot to kill her, right!?
Just imagine that she feels goosebumps. She wanted to stop him, but Roland shook his head.
Scarlett silently took a long deep sigh.
"We will excuse ourselves, Scarlett," Roland said with a gentle smile directed at her. Scarlett nodded in response. "And do not forget our next meeting, which is still on schedule," Roland added.
"Yes, sir..."

Scarlett couldn't move her gaze from the door even after Roland and Simon Gilwynn had left the room. Her mind was reeling as she imagined Simon's expression when he politely apologized. Even though he had left minutes ago, she still could hear every word when he said it.
