Holly’s face paled as she quickly stood up, wearing a forced smile, and began to explain, “Kate, I…
Kate raised her chin in disdain and glared at Holly, speaking even more rudely, “Who gave you permission to call me Kate? Do you know your place? Do you think you’re worthy of trying to get close to me?”
