The middle-aged woman paused for a moment, then turned to look back.
Seeing Damian Sinclair, she smiled slightly and nodded as a greeting.
Damian also nodded gently in response, but his gaze only rested on Bella Acker, cold and deep as an abyss.
Bella looked at him too, but his gaze was too cold and distant, causing her to eventually lower her head, and she stood up by herself from the ground.
The middle-aged woman said to Bella, "I'm really sorry. Bonnie ran too fast and bumped into this gentleman, and then into you. To apologize, I'd like to invite both of you for a drink, is that alright?"
Bella was taken aback, not realizing the little boy had also bumped into Damian earlier. Watching them nod at each other, she assumed they were acquaintances.
"No need, I'm fine," Bella shook her head and said, "You should check if the little boy is hurt."
