"You are so unreasonable, Antonia," Amara fired back. "You really have a talent for being an absolute nuisance."
Her anger kept rising.
The only reason Antonia was even in her face right now was because of Finnian, the same man who had been making her life a living hell lately.
Furious, she blurted out, "No wonder you're family. You and your cousin are two of a kind!"
"..."
Finnian stepped out of the lounge just in time to hear Amara declare that he and Antonia were 'two of a kind'. His entire body went rigid.
Having a tall, intimidating man standing right behind her was hard to miss. Amara felt his presence instantly.
She spun around and shot him a blistering glare.
He was the one who had forced his way into her space, and now his cousin was out here insulting her. The more she thought about it, the more furious she became.
She didn't even want to look at him anymore. Ignoring him entirely, she pushed past him back into her lounge and slammed the door shut.
Knock, knock, knock.
The second she was inside, the knocking started again.
Amara scowled. It didn't take a genius to know Finnian was the one knocking. Getting shut out of a room would definitely piss him off.
She thought about it for a second, then grabbed the things he had left on the table and marched over to open the door.
It was indeed Finnian. He had barely knocked twice before she ripped the door open.
Before he could even register her face, she shoved a stack of paper bags and the folder right into his chest. It was all the gifts he had brought her.
Then, her voice cut through the air, cold and sharp. "Take your things and leave. I have work to do, and I don't want to look at you."
