"Ember, hurry up, don't just stand there," Maddie waved her hand to me.
I quickly put on an unreadable expression. I walked hastily towards them, my gaze met with Maddie, who was patting the seat next to her for me to sit. A low smirk formed on my lips as I walked towards her direction, only for me to seat Damon.
Her expression turned sullen. She tried to smile but failed miserably.
My gaze met with Damon's cold one. His eyes sparkled with amusement. He grabbed his knife and began to cut the steak in pieces.
At the sight of food, my stomach squealed in delight. It was as if the tension from earlier had made me almost forget my best friend. 'Don't you dare disgrace me, I'm trying to build my reputation. So don't you…' the growling noise of my stomach reverberated through the hall.
My stepmother Evelyn scoffed. "So uncultured, behaves like a vagabond. This is so uncalled for—a breeder dining with alphas."
