He realized he shouldn't have made her angry just now.

Eileen and the others finished their meal and left, leaving a table of leftovers for Conroy and Gianna.

In the stillness of the bedroom, Eileen's phone buzzed incessantly.

Eileen put her phone down, raising her eyes to Leyla. "If you're worried they'll starve, just give them sfood directly. Why are you doing it in secret?"
"You don't understand," Leyla said with a smirk. "You've got the business smarts, but you don't know how to deal with snakes. Watch and learn how handle Conroy and Gianna.
