Christine's response was indifferent, "Oh, so if you want to insult me, it's fine, but if you're apologizing, I'm just supposed to show up at a café because you say so? Why should I?" "And since when does an apology automatically deserve forgiveness?" "If sorry fixed everything, what would we need cops for?" "No matter what you say today, I won't forgive you." "Listen carefully, Dailey, I, Christine, want nothing to do with you... Mmph!" Her words were cut off before she could finish.
Christine had never felt so frustrated. She used to rule the roost.
No fish she raised would ever turn the tables on her.
But Dailey was the exception.

But before she could curse him out, she heard him say in a low voice, "The shop Gregory gave you is yours, ΟΠΙ but there are plenty of ways to make it unprofitable.
