Ranita called for a cleaning service and threw the small table out, then sprayed an entire bottle of air freshener. The scent was so strong that even Ranita couldn't bear it.
Deciding to leave, Ranita headed to the hospital to visit Eve with a bouquet of sunflowers in hand. As she waited for the elevator, she heard Amiya's voice behind her say, "Ranita?"
Ranita frowned and took a few steps back without saying anything.
Amiya sneered, "I was just looking for you. Since we've met now, let's talk."
"Sorry, I have something else going on right now and can't entertain you," Ranita replied curtly. She used to be at Amiya's beck and call because of Brendon but now she couldn't be bothered.
"Since you don't know your place," Amiya threatened as she waved her hand. Her bodyguard immediately stepped forward towards Ranita.
They took Ranita to a corner in the rooftop garden where Amiya sat in her wheelchair with a cold expression as she looked up and down at Ranita.
Ranita was indeed impeccable in terms of looks, with a high nose, large eyes, fair skin, and a naturally cold temperament. Brendon, having been with her for several years, had some reluctance to part with her, which was understandable.
"Ranita, did you arrange for someone to bump into Shannon?"
"It has nothing to do with me!" Without hesitation or thought, Ranita replied. "Mrs. Stuart, it is illegal to restrict citizens' freedom by means of coercion."
"Heh! Are you threatening me?"Amiya laughed lightly. "Have we done anything to you? I haven't done anything!"
Looking around at the bodyguards surrounding them, Ranita wondered what they meant by not doing anything?
"What do you want from me, Mrs. Stuart?" Ranita asked.
