“Nothing happened. Since she did some things she shouldn’t have, naturally, she should bear the consequences,” Brian said carelessly as if he did not think it was a big deal at all.
However, when Grace heard it, her heart jumped. Saying it this way… Had Emily been silenced? She might even have been forced out of show business.
That would be the least of her punishments, she supposed.
A wolf like Brian…he might take to more savage ways of correcting problems.
It was the same concern she had with Jay. That he would use the power and force of his position as alpha, or the brutal strength of his pack to execute justice in the old ways.
This human Emily had been forced from the spotlight by Brian. He had taken her livelihood away.
From then on, she would no longer have luxuries to adorn herself and would have to live a plain life.
On this planet, how many would willingly choose plainness? Especially someone who had experienced luxury before. She was afraid Emily Theller would not be able to withstand that kind of commoner’s plainness.
“What, are you sympathetic to her?” Brian looked at the woman before his eyes and said, “That day, Emily was not courteous to you at all, though.”
“I’m not sympathizing. I don’t think she would want my sympathy anyway,” Grace said. “You don’t have to treat me to a meal as an apology either. I need to catch the bus back to the city.”
“I still want to treat you to a meal.” Brian said.
Grace said indifferently, “Can it be that you want to use force to treat me to a meal?”
“I don’t like to use force, but using it occasionally isn’t bad either.” Brian pulled Grace’s hand as he spoke, taking big steps toward the parking lot.
“Brian, what are you planning to do?” Grace yelled in a low voice.
“Just want to have a meal with you,” he said casually.
