Chapter 33
by expression darkened. “I’m just as upset about this as you are, but that doesn’t give you the right to insult me!
If you have evidence that I did this on purpose, by all means, contact the cops. If not, you’re just slandering me, and I’m not sure whether you can handle the legal ramifications
I wasn’t about to let her act like a total bitch. As equals, I didn’t see why I should let her walk all over me.
Little did I know that my words would enrage Elizabeth. Her face contorted in anger, and she lunged at me like a wild animal.
Before I could react, she swung her hand at my check. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself for the impact, but nothing happened. When I opened my eyes again, I noticed that asali figure bad stepped in to protect me. “We’re in a hospital. Please don’t make a scene.” Ethan’s deep and magnetic voice sounded from above me.
I was surprised that he would step in to protect me. As I was reeling in from the shock, my eyes landed on the three people in front of me.

The owner of the dance studio I was working with was understanding about what happened. He didn’t hold it against me and allowed me to continue teaching there. Since Seraphina had been resting these past few days, I had it pretty easy.
