"Good morning, sir. I was just about to call you," Genevieve said the moment the call connected.
Tom sounded surprised on the other end. "That's funny because I called to talk to you too."
Genevieve turned her back to Stefan. "Then since you called first, you should speak."
"Ladies first," Tom replied warmly.
Stefan adjusted on the bed so he could see her face.
Genevieve smiled awkwardly before biting lightly on her lower lip.
"I actually wanted to apologize for what happened at your hotel because of me."
Immediately Tom said firmly, "There's nothing to apologize for."
Genevieve blinked in surprise.
Tom continued calmly, "Better my hotel than your life. Properties can be rebuilt and replaced. Family can't."
Family?
Her throat tightened instantly and tears sprang instantly into her eyes.
Stefan immediately sat up straighter beside her. "What did he say?" He mouthed, wondering why she looked like she was about to cry.
Did Tom say something wrong?
