Joanna was shaken to the core by Mason's outburst. How could he yell at a stranger like that?!
"Mr Burke it... it was an accident." She managed to say.
Mason took a threatening step in her way, recking her up and down with his cold green eyes. His face morphed into disgust as he spat unimpressively.
"You don't even belong here, do you?"
The way he said that made Joanna clench her jaw. At times like this, she wished she had even an ounce of Elena's courage. If it was Elena in her shoes, then she would have seized that man's mouth with her vicious tongue.
"I... I d-don't."
A dark chuckle left mason's lips. "Thought so! Because no woman from a respectful family wanders unattentively like this and tries to mask her mistake under the name of an accident!"
Joanna's eyes stung. She gulped before managing to say, "Mr Burke, I... I am truly sorry for your phone but trust me, I didn't mean it to happen.
It was an accident and I... I am ready to pay for your loss."
