Then she got out of the car without looking back and walked quickly towards the apartment. August frowned after hearing her call him Mr. Adams as if they were strangers.

He answered with a serious expression, "Say." A low, husky voice came from the other side of the phone, "Mr. Adams, it's Merlin Kelly!

It was Paula. Lucia immediately answered, "Hello, Paula?"'®

Lucia stood up to relax her tense muscles and said softly, "I'm afraid I can't, I have to work overtime...'®
