He wondered however why they were helping the delivery man. Slowly, he bent down to pick the pieces. He turned to leave but stopped slightly to look at Grey, wondering why the manager and the strange rich man were protecting him. He held his anger in check and walked out. Not that he could help it anyway. He might really lose his job for real.

Jayden nodded. “She is and she‘s the only one. Her mother died one year ago and Aphrodite has taken over.”
