Amanda Smith was stunned for a moment before reacting. Seeing him bring up Evan Willow, her originally gentle expression also showed a trace of excitement, "Samuel, Evan and I are just..."
"Evan? That's quite an affectionate way to address him."
The tone of Samuel Johnson's voice left Amanda somewhat baffled, yet the sarcasm within was unmistakably real.
She pursed her lips, lowering her voice, "Samuel, Evan and I are friends. If you have anything to say, you can tell me, but please leave him out of it."
Her defense of this man only served to push Samuel Johnson's already simmering anger to its peak.
Amanda Smith actually had a friend, and it was a man.
He sneered inwardly. As a man, how could he fail to recognize the look Evan Willow gave Amanda Smith? The intention was blatantly obvious. Did he think he was blind?
Friends?
