Paige didn’t like this Jennifer chick.
"You got it." Rosalynn replied with a smirk, "I'll tell Baillie exactly what you said. Man, what on earth was he thinking? Thanks for the heads-up, Ms. Baldie."
Jennifer and Regina immediately lost color in their faces.
"What are you blabbing about, girl? Of course Baillie knows what he's doing!" Regina exclaimed, torn between anger and amusement. She then turned to Rosalynn with a smile, "Mrs. Silverman, my daughter tends to talk without thinking. I'm aware of the bereavement in Paige's family which delayed the wedding. Please don't bring it up with Baillie, we don't want to cause misunderstandings..."
"Oh right, sorry about that, Paige. I totally forgot about the tragedy in your family. I shouldn't have said what I did!" Jennifer apologized overly quickly, before her mother could finish.
Regina felt like giving her a good kick.
"Running your mouth isn't a good habit." Paige glared at Jennifer, "Haven't you heard the rumors about me online? I'm known to have a bad temper. With my family spoiling me, even I'm scared of my outbursts."
Jennifer's face stiffened.
"Next time you spew nonsense in front of me, I might just lose it. Then you'll be running to Baillie with tears in your eyes!" Paige continued.
She was naturally cute and unthreatening.
But such words from her seemed rather odd.
"You!"
This was Jennifer's first encounter with Paige.
She seemed even smaller in person than in her online pictures.
Rumors had circulated online.
About how she had been badly bullied in her previous home.
Jennifer had assumed she would be easy to handle.
