All the ladies exchanged questioning glances with each other upon hearing the question from their friend. From the vacant look they shared, it seemed like none of them knew a middle-aged woman who went by the name of Scarlett.
"I don't think I've ever heard that name before," one of the women who was standing close to Kenneth spoke up.
The other woman who was standing at the back of the group also shook her head and mumbled, "And neither have I." She turned her head to look at the shopkeeper and asked him, "Mr. Derrick, you know almost everyone in this village. I bet you know someone by that name."
The shopkeeper was rolling the fabric when the woman questioned him. He was still mad at Damien and Kenneth for coming to his shop and stealing his thunder.
And without even sparing a glance at the gentlemen who were surrounded by all his prospective customers, he shook his head and politely denied, "Stormford is a huge village, Ms. Amity. Even I don't recognize everyone."
