Selene Larkin explained her reasoning, seizing the chance to report how the woman had been spouting nonsense—even claiming that their boss was pursuing her.
'Knowing the Boss,' she thought, 'he's sure to be displeased by the woman's actions and will turn his anger on her instead.'
However, to Selene Larkin's surprise, the Boss didn't get angry at Stella Sterling after hearing her out.
Instead, he vented his fury on them. "Regardless of the reason, since Miss Sterling was already here and had mentioned my name, you should have reported it to me."
"As a result, I've been a terrible host to Miss Sterling. I am most displeased. You all had better think long and hard about how you're going to explain this to me later."
With that, Miles Sanctus's cold gaze swept over the people before him, his eyes filled with displeasure.
