Hannah shifted her attention to Winston. “I mentioned you’d have a month off. But if you find yourself yearning more time off, just give me a call. Your vocation can stretch on as much as you need.”
Alessandra’s eyes widened in panic. “Miss Moore! I really don’t want to go anywhere!”
“What’s the matter?”
Seemingly confused, Hannah looked down at Alessandra and asked, “Didn’t you ask your brother to spend more time with you today?”
Winston stepped in, gently guiding Alessandra beside him. “Alessandra, let’s not give Miss Moore a hard time.”
Alessandra bit her lip nervously, her eyes pleading as she looked up at Hannah. “I just… I don’t want to leave you, Miss Moore.”
Dotson fired off a sarcastic remark, “Since when did you become Miss Moore’s little shadow? Can’t stand to be away from her, huh? Not buying it for a second.”
“Miss Moore saved my life, okay? Of course, I’m gonna stick close to her. Or should I be clinging to you instead?” Alessandra sulked. “I’d love to travel with my brother, but what about Miss Moore’s safety?”
“Oh, please.”
Dotson, rolling his eyes, retorted, “I’ll take good care of Miss Moore. We’ll manage perfectly fine without you.”
“Dotson! What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Winston glared at Dotson, infuriated.
“You get my point,” Dotson snapped back, visibly frustrated. “Your sister’s clueless and keeps sticking to Miss Moore! It’s annoying!
It’s frustrating! What are you gonna do about it?”
Winston shielded Alessandra and shot Dotson a severe look. “Has my sister done anything to provoke you? You’re way out of line! How dare you insult her like that?”
With his hands casually in his pockets, Dotson met Winston’s gaze and remarked, “Oh, I can insult her plenty more. She’s a deadweight, always glued to Miss Moore’s side! And now she’s trying to tag along with us. She’s just holding us back!”
“You’ve got some nerve talking about my sister like that!” Winston, at his limit, balled his fists in anger.

“It’s the truth! I’m just telling it like it is! Your sister is useless. Miss Moore only tolerates her because of you. But now she’s pushing her luck, constantly rejecting Miss Moore’s generosity!”
Seeing Alessandra tremble behind Winston, Dotson challenged, “You really don’t wanna ditch Miss Moore, huh? Looks like you’re just asking for trouble, aren’t you?”
Bang!
The moment Dotson’s words hung in the air, Winston swung at him!
Dotson was hit in the left cheek. Quick to respond, he landed a punch on Winston. Before long, they were locked in a full-blown brawl!
