Baz quickly darted over and pushed Nigel off his boss. “Sir, Mr. Cedric tried to save Ms. Mala!” Nigel scoffed. “He tried to save Maia? More like trying to get her killed!”

“| miss you! No, | miss you like crazy, okay? When are you coming back?”

“It's been three months since you left. By the way, I've learned a new dish. | can’t wait for you to taste it!
