Chapter 11-1
Juniper lunged forward in panic, clamping her hand over Danielle's mouth before she could dig herself deeper.
"Mr. Charrington, | am so sorry-she’s completely hammered. Please don’t take anything she says seriously.
Juniper couldn't even bring herself to look at David's thunderous expression as she tried dragging her friend
away.
But Danielle wasn’t having it. She broke free and grabbed David's sleeve, her inhibitions thoroughly dissolved.
"You're way too pretty to be standing around. Have another drink with me, handsome. I've already paid for your

"Hold up," Joshua gaped. "Since when does David have a thing with this girl? Never even seen him with women.
And the way she treated him? How is he not livid?"
"Um, Mr. Charrington," Juniper ventured nervously, "just helpget her to the car. We've got a driver coming."
"No. Just tellthe address," he commanded, his tone brooking no argument.
‘Wait, what? I'm her best friend and suddenly I'm the third wheel? Danielle, girl, you're really something else -
passing out in sstranger’s arms like it's nothing?" Juniper wondered helplessly.
