Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 It’s Only a Matter of Time Before I Toy With You to Death

She took two sips of water before she heard the sound of leisurely footsteps behind her. Charlene said with feigned concern and a smile, “Are you alright, Ms.

McKinnon?”

Deirdre ignored her. When she was done drinking, she followed the wall and walked outside. Charlene raised her voice behind Deirdre as she said, “You’re going to have to talk to me, Ms. McKinnon. Do you think that you can just ignore me when Brendan is not around? If I take offense, I’m going to vent my grievance to Brendan.”
