Lara came back with a glass of water. "Ms. Frazier, you fainted in the wine cellar. Mr. Lowe brought you here to rest."
Debra gulped down the water, feeling her throat finally ease.
As she glanced up, she caught sight of Drake standing across from her, casually clad in a loose robe. His hair was tousled, and faint dark circles under his eyes hinted at a long night.
"Debra, you really outdid yourself," Drake said, his tone frigid. "I sent you to clean up, and you managed to pass out in the wine cellar. You stirred up a ruckus in the middle of the night. Can't you let people sleep?"
Debra retorted, "I was trying to clean, but Kale scared me with his cold face. I didn't bother anyone, yet you let him bully me."
Drake's expression darkened. "I let him bully you?"
"If it weren't for you, why would he have tried to kill me?" Debra rolled up her sleeve, revealing a series of fresh bruises marring her skin. "Look at this. He almost chocked me."
Drake's brows knitted together.
"Ms. Frazier, you've misunderstood," Lara interjected. "Mr. Lowe didn't intend to harm you. What Kale did was his own decision. Mr. Lowe has already scolded him and even had us prepare food for you to regain your strength."
"Who asked you to speak? Get out," Drake barked.
Lara shrank back, quickly retreating from the room.
Only then did Debra notice the snacks neatly arranged on the table beside her.
"Are these for me?"
"No, they're for my dog. I wasn't planning on sharing it with you."
"I'm really hungry. Can we stop with the jokes?"
