"Allow me to apologize on her behalf."
Derek bowed, and he bowed low. As the new party leader, unofficially, that is, this was his responsibility.
"I should've restrained her more. It's my fault for not being able to control her."
"I'll talk to Sir Justin; we'll give you a proper explanation and compensation for what happened. Please be patient and excuse her for the time being. She's normally not like that."
"Nah, it's all good." Ren waved off his apology and his need to compensate him. "I agreed to her challenge so anything that happened was my responsibility. Even if I was injured, once I accepted that challenge, I lost the right to complain. Don't sweat it."
"Besides, I won anyway," Ren shrugged. "So, we're all good. Oh, I'm Ren, by the way; nice to meet you."
"Derek, the pleasure is mine," he replied.
Inwardly, Derek was relieved. He thought that Ren would begin by saying that he's going to file a report or sue them through his lawyer.
