As she saw Annette, Alina quickly stepped back from Connor. Then, she pretended to look flustered and turned her gaze toward Annette.
"Ms. Hall, you're back."
Annette looked at Connor with a cold expression, then turned her gaze to Alina, who looked uneasy. "Alina, it's getting late. Aren't you going back?"
Annette's purpose was simple. She wanted to remind Alina who she was married to.
Alina walked up to Annette and said, "Ms. Hall, actually I came to see you, but Connor said you were out. I thought you would come back very late."
"Why are you looking for me so late?" Annette's tone was not friendly.
Alina smiled and said, "I have an appointment with a baby clothing designer from France. His assistant sent me a design catalog. I was wondering if you want to take a look as well."
With a false smile, Annette nodded and said, "Sure. Thank you."
She walked towards the sofa and said, "Let's sit down and take a look together."
