"Men, when they change their minds, are always heartless," said Adrian Desmond, lighting a cigarette and taking a drag.
Paige Desmond snatched the cigarette from his hand and said, "Sis-in-law won't let you smoke!"
"She's not here, is she?" Adrian Desmond frowned at Paige Desmond, eyes filled with dissatisfaction. Since when did his younger sister start meddling in his affairs?
Paige Desmond extinguished the cigarette and, seeing a pack on the table, promptly tucked it into her shirt pocket.
She looked at Adrian and asked, "How can I help you?"
"Business matters; women shouldn't interfere!"
