The pity she had for Richard earlier hadpletely vanished, reced with anger. She made a mental note to give him an earful when he recovers some strength.
udia stared at Selene for a second before she looked away.
She stood up from the couch and stormed out of the living room without saying another word.
Thomas stared at both Xavier and Selene before he left as well.
"What are they going to do?" Selene couldn’t help but think out loud.
"Focus on Richard," Xavier replied nonchntly. "It shouldn’t take long for him to recover anyway. Mark gave him good treatment at the hideout and his injuries have started healing. He just needs further treatment," he added. He stared at his cold food and snorted.
Selene nodded in understanding.
For a second there, she thought Mrs. Wace was going to p her and pull her hair out.

The week had already passed and the day for the movie tour had arrived.
Only the actors who yed the main characters and a few of the supporting characters would be going to promote the movie before the release date.
Together, they traveled to Fameville, a bustling city known for its opportunities for exposure.
Throughout the traveling, Michelle red at Selene, who didn’t pay her any attention at all.
udia had only given Michelle a month to spend on the world tour, then she would have toe back and continue to take care of Richard.
Once their nended at Fameville airport, the actors were immediately swamped with the press and fans who wanted to capture them in a picture.
The bodyguards hired for their safety immediately tried to protect them till they got to the bus that would be taking them to their hotel.
"My goodness, I’m so tired," Selene mumbled as she hugged the pillow on the bed in her hotel room. "Who could have thought that traveling would be so stressful," she wondered, fighting the urge to close her eyes shut and surrender to sleep.
All of a sudden, she heard a knocking from the door.
"Ugh... who could it be?" She wondered.
Director Jeunes had already given them the rest of the day to rest. They would need to leave early the next day for an interview, then attend an evening party with some movie producers from Fameville and promote <i>The Sinner </i>there.
Hesitantly, Selene stepped out of the bed and marched towards the door. When she saw who was on the other side, she hissed in annoyance and intended to close it shut, but Michelle had already stepped inside.
"What do you want?" Selene demanded.
She only wanted to rest. She wasn’t in the mood to fight with Michelle at the moment.
"I have many questions to ask you regarding Richard. Like what did you do to him exactly?" Michelle questioned, pinning Selene with a re.
"What are you talking about?" Selene yawned, covering her mouth with her hand, while the other hand was still on the doorknob, ready to close it shut anytime.
"You know exactly what I’m talking about."
"Look, Michelle. Can you talk about this tomorrow morning? I’m way too tired to listen to any of your nonsense, talk more of understanding them," Selene said, about to close the door again, but Michelle ced her palm on it, making it halt.
"Because of you, I feel like a nurse taking care of an old man. Every single day, I have to wake up just to clean him up because you know why?" She asked Selene who wasn’t intending to reply. "Because he has no fingers anymore," she spat.
Selene sighed.
’You have to be kidding me,’ Selene thought to herself.
"You were always asking for the whereabouts of Richard and I brought him to you? What about it? You are his wife after all. Isn’t it your duty to take care of him?" She questioned.
Selene had always had fun bringing the worst out of Michelle, but Michelle came at the wrong time.
Selene pushed Michelle out of her room and shut the door with the remaining strength she had before Michelle could reply.
’Can’t she take a hint?’ She wondered before she mmed her body on the soft bed again and dozed off.
