"What for?" "For helpingback at the Starlight Gala," Sadie spoke softly, as if she was afraid raising her voice might break something rare and fragile.
That day, shortly after Noah had dealt with that troublesman from the Westvale Group, he was called away to attend to other business.

"Those imbeciles! They're all useless!" Kyla's voice was shrill and biting, and the director had to wince. Kyla then pointed to the door and ordered, "Bringthe designer of the necklace on the Samoyed! Now!" The director of the design department wasted no tand hurried out to relay the urgent message.
Soon after, a young designer entered, shaking and noticeably terrified, his ve complexion ashen and lips trembling. "Miss Wade—” His greeting was cut short by a sharp slap.
