Ginger Family.
Cora Ginger changed her clothes and followed Peter Barnes downstairs.
Her usual lively and spirited demeanor was completely gone. With her head down, she stepped down the stairs like a puppet.
When she reached the first floor, she was so absent-minded that she missed the last step and stumbled forward.
Peter Barnes caught her in one hand and, taking advantage of the situation, pulled her into his embrace.
He restrained his restlessness, saying elegantly and gently, "How can you be so careless? If you fall, I'll be heartbroken."
Cora Ginger forced a fake smile, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen badly."
"Do you need to be so courteous with me?"
He held Cora Ginger's hand, leading her out of the building and into his Mercedes.
In the past, Cora Ginger would have wanted nothing more than to sit in a Mercedes with a big boss to foster a relationship; it was the life she dreamed of.
