“Don’t you dare accuse me!” The look on Amber’s face was one that was twisted with indignance. “Ignore her nonsense, Justin. I didn’t do anything. I just came here to bring you soup, and Charlotte said that she wanted some, but she was the one who intentionally overturned the bowl of soup!! would’ve been burnt if I hadn’t dodged the hot liquid.”

her heart sinking as she looked toward the office table from the corner of her eyes-the soupy mess was still there. Justin heaved a sigh of relief once he checked and ensured that Charlotte wasn’t injured. “What happened, Charlotte?”
