"It's hard to say. I think the Moon Goddess has made the best arrangements. Even if I can't be his mate, I think it's good to be his friend."
As Annette said, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Marcus calling, she was happy to find a good opportunity to escape.
She picked up the phone and went to get her bag. She said to Alanna and the others, "It's time to get off work. Hurry home. I wish you a happy weekend."
She opened the door and walked out.
Marcus' voice sounded on the other side of the line. "Annette, I just heard about what Connor did. What do you think?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you touched?" Marcus smirked.
"Is there a need to be touched?" Just now, Annette was just in fright.
"Annette, you are going too far. Connor made your relationship public and announced to the world that you were his mate. If others offend you, they will offend him. He is protecting you."
Annette rolled her eyes. Even so, she still couldn't recover from the shock.
