Susan Caldwell's sensible nature made Brooke Mitchell sigh with admiration. Although she felt Susan's personality was a bit too soft, she believed a girl should be gentle to be considered tender. A rigid personality would only be off-putting.
Besides, the men in her family were each more stubborn than the last, so she had a soft spot for people with gentler natures.
So she looked at Vera Xavier and said, "Susan is trying so sincerely to be your friend, yet this is how you treat her. I won't pass judgment on whatever is going on between you girls, but you must apologize for pouring a drink on her today. Otherwise, I will not let you leave!"
Vera Xavier laughed. "Fine, then I won't leave. Does this mean you'll be serving me dinner, ma'am?"
Brooke Mitchell was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. It was the first time she had ever met a girl like Vera Xavier who was so unpredictable. For a moment, she had no idea what to do with her.
