“Ms. Windt…”

Raina’s voice startled Charlotte out of her reverie. When she finally snapped out of her daze, Raina and her medical assistant had appeared in front of her.

When she spotted the deep red mark on Charlotte’s face, the woman frowned and asked immediately, “What happened to your face? Who did that to you?”

The medical assistant who had tagged along let out a gasp of horror as well. “Look! Ms. Windt’s arm is bleeding, too.”

“Come on, let’s get into the car first.” Raina helped Charlotte into the vehicle.

When they got into the car, the former helped her to remove the tiny shards of glass that had been lodged in her hands. In a quiet voice, she told Charlotte, “Ms. Windt, Mr. Nacht has put us at your disposal. If you need anything done, we’re the ones for the job!”

Her words held a deeper meaning to them. The moment the words fell from Charlotte’s mouth, Raina would be ready to go up against everyone who ever bullied her.
