"I merely convey my employer's wishes," the butler said diplomatically. "And please, keep your voice down. We wouldn't want to disturb the guests." Her anger blazed hotter. "Just who are these precious guests that I should be shuffled out the back like yesterday's trash?" The butler paused, weighing his words before delivering the truth: "Jayden Owen and Elyse Lloyd are here." The names struck Corrie like a physical blow, leaving her momentarily speechless.
