Nicholas Croft smiled, as if everything was within his expectations. He had clarified everything with Hannah Hargrave yesterday, so... she was taking out her anger on her sister.

Facing Beatrice's surprised gaze, Nicholas said, "Because yesterday I told her that I've never liked her, and that we're just colleagues."
Beatrice secretly breathed a sigh of relief, holding her cup and continuing to sip her juice, her eyes fixed on Nicholas, her lips that sucked on the straw barely concealing her satisfaction.
