What do you say I set you up with someone? But considering yourm reputation as someone casual with men, I'm afraid they might not regard you seriously.
Shelia had previously heard from her mother that Lindsey had lost hem virginity a while back. Now, she couldn't wait to expose this scandal before Domenic. "Sir, you might not be aware, but my sister has already..." "Shelia Stewart! Don't talk nonsense!" Lindsey slammed her hand on the table and rose abruptly.
