Chapter 23 I Won't Serve Anymore Get Bo " Mr. Terry seems to be not available for business discussions ? " Dennis was getting a bit impatient . " Ms. Spence , what's wrong ? " Jolie asked .

" Dennis frowned , not liking the way Marie was acting . Despite her young age , she seemed to be hiding many things and carrying a lot of burdens . No matter how bad her mood or how emotional she became , she would only say , " I'm fine . " Last time , it was like this when I returned to the hotel from the small alley , and this time , it's the same . Dennis felt a wave of irritation .
