I feel awful for drinking too much; I know what I did wasn't right. I'm so sorry!" "Don't worry about it! It happens to all of us, but you should be more careful.

"Mr. Bartz, may I speak with you in private?" Frederick said, his tone worried.
"Hey, Frederick! How are you? How's everything going?" Marcus replied cheerfully.
"That's what I need to talk to you about, but in private. Can you take this call away from Mrs. Bartz?" "Oh, sure! Givea second; letcheck the signal," Marcus said, pretending to have poor reception.
"Okay..." "What's going on, Frederick? You know I don't like keeping things from Valerie." "I know, but what I'm about to tell you is delicate. As you know, I'm in Madrid watching over Miss Serenity. She hasn't noticed our presence...
"And that's how it should be, my friend..." "It's just that something unexpected has happened." "Spit it out already. Stop beating around the bush!" Marcus said, growing impatient.

"Serenity ran into Maximus Palmer at m the airport. At first, we thought it was just a coincidence, but they exchanged words, didn't think much ofit at the time.

"Tell me, has he made any moves on her?"
"No, Marcus. You know I wouldn't allow that. We've just been monitoring what he does around her. I also didnt want to approach him and reveal she's your niece. That's why I decided to call you. It's your decision how we handle this." "I'm leaving immediately! I'm going to get my daughter. That bastard better not have crossed any lines with her, or he's as good as dead.
"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. I wanted to be certain..."
"I understand, my friend, but we're talking about my daughter. We both know the reputation of that scumbag. I'll try to get there within the next few hours. And this stays between us-Valerie can't know, at least not until Serenity is back in Valentia."
