Riley was taken aback by what Annie Anne said.
She was just about to defend herself, but Annie Anne spoke first:
"I asked you about this incident, where you were at the time, simply because I was concerned if you were hurt. I was standing quite far away and yet got a scratch on my arm from the flying stone chips."
Annie Anne gazed into Riley's eyes, saying slowly, "I just didn't expect that because of my words, Miss Riley would imagine so much."
"I..."
Riley parted her lips, her face suddenly turning awkward.
Annie Anne shifted her gaze from Riley's face and slyly winked at Charlotte Thompson.
"Miss Riley, it was a pleasure meeting you here. If there's nothing else, I need to prepare for the upcoming charity auction."
Charlotte smiled politely at Riley, and without waiting for her response, planned to leave with Justin Battleson and Annie Anne.
As Charlotte turned around, she heard Riley exclaim from behind.
"Sir, it's you!"
