Angeline was only making a plea of leniency for Ash because she was kind by nature.
However, in the eyes of Sir Ares who was on the verge of an emotional breakdown due to envy, her behavior was nothing more than adding fuel to the flames.
Grayson looked at Sir Ares in trepidation. Jay angrily wrote a string of words on a paper.
Grayson understood what he meant by that and said," Madam, this is Sir Ares' order and we can’t defy it. If you want to make a plea of leniency for Ash, I think you should talk to Sir Ares yourself.”
Angeline was no fool. She knew that Grayson was often the one to execute Sir Ares' orders.
Angeline threatened and intimidated Grayson, "I'm warning you. Sir Ares is still mad, so you're not allowed to execute his orders. We'll talk about this tomorrow when his anger has dissipated.”
"Madam, you understand Sir Ares' temper better than anyone. If you don't placate him then he’s never going to stop feeling angry."
"I know. Can’t you see I'm trying to figure out a way?”
"Oh.”
Grayson hung up and looked at Jay in delight.
"Hear that, Sir Ares? Madam said she’ll apologize to you.”
Jay's dark and mesmerizing face glowed with anticipation.
Since childhood, that woman had never taken the initiative to apologize even after committing all sorts o f mistakes, major or minor.
Jay got off work early in the afternoon and rushed home eagerly.
Angeline was sitting on the couch, and upon seeing Jay, a hint of panic and anxiety flashed across her beautiful face.
Jay walked up to her and asked her with a stern countenance, "I heard that you want to offer me an apology?"
Angeline was stunned...
"When did I say that I'm going to apologize to you?" She clearly had not said such a thing.
The ball of hope in Jay's eyes extinguished without a trace.
He left Angeline alone and went upstairs.
