At these words, Gordon and Mrs. Morgan grew very tense. As for Zola, he turned and bolted for the door, but Gordon Morgan quickly shouted, "Stop the young master!"
At a time like this, how could Gordon Morgan possibly let Zola run out?
Secretary Ruiz stood up apologetically and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry, Mr. Morgan. I see I've come at a bad time. I apologize for saying something that made Zola so emotional."
It was a very polite apology. Besides, she had only revealed the situation because they had repeatedly asked her about it, so the blame couldn't be placed on her.
For that very reason, Gordon Morgan couldn't bring himself to blame her. He just said, his head aching, "Ms. Lambert, I'm afraid we've made a fool of ourselves. Zola's personality has always been a bit extreme, even as a child. We'll have to trouble you to look after him more in the future. Today's home visit probably can't continue. I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you please come back another time?"
