章 366: Friends (2)

"Are you truly going to abandon me to sit with Giselle? The woman I finally stopped from entering the manor?" Rafael asked, holding Annalise's hand to stop her from going off to greet Giselle. 

What sort of punishment was this for Annalise to befriend Giselle? Rafael didn't hate Giselle but he was so used to running away from her because of the way she dressed and acted around him to leave rumours about their relationship. 

He wouldn't go as far as to call it a relationship. He was letting her visit her brother, but then it ended with her flirting. 

"I am holding off us laying around for an hour or so. I have to make friends while I am here and at the competition you held, Giselle suggested we become friends. Of the three young women wanting to court you, I like her along with Siena. It can't hurt to start a friendship with Giselle," Annalise said, removing his hold on her arm.
