Chapter 175: The Host

But she cannot run away. She swallowed the lump in her throat and walked down the stairs. "Is she, our guest?" Viviana asked Leander with a smile.

"Please, come in," she then smiled at the woman. "I am Minerva."

"Hmm," Brie stepped in with a wide smile holding out her hand for a hug. "I'm Gabriella. Nice to meet you… Leander's wife!"

Viviana was not up for a hug. She held her hand for a shake. Brie looked at Viviana from top to bottom. Leander placed his hand on the small of her back. Viviana didn't like his hand there. But she didn't want to move aside in front of that other woman. 

Maybe Brie noticed that little interaction, she tried to say something. But before she could say one more word, Viviana shouted for Katerina. 

"Please arrange a room for our guest," she said to Katerina and Katerina looked at Leander.
