Ann was positively fuming. She couldn’t believe that Maeve would reach out in that way and make it appear as if she couldn’t take care of things herself. How was she ever going to get him to take her seriously if he had to run to her rescue when things got a little difficult?

Ann sighed heavily and tipped her head back in frustration, her shoulders sagging.

“Did you want me to call him back and tell him that it’s not necessary?” she asked quietly.

“No, it’s fine Eva. Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.” She said wearily.
