David Locke and Lambert Norman both froze mid-action. Seeing that Mary truly seemed upset and on the verge of snapping, they wisely lowered their heads and dutifully focused on their own breakfasts.

David gave him a side glance. He knew all too well the troublemaking nature of this trust-fund brat—yeah, right, like he believed that excuse.
