Haisley, still feeling a bit uncomfortable, stiffly added, "Your warning yesterday was actually quite useful, thanks."
If it weren't for Julissa's warning, she might have indeed found herself in trouble.
Julissa smiled, "Alright then."
Seeing this, Haisley quickly clarified for herself, "Don't think this means l've forgiven you. I'm telling you, don't get too smug!
Keeping things separate, I thank you, but I still really dislike you, hmph!"
With that, she turned and hurried upstairs.
Julissa laughed. These siblings truly lived up to their parentage, both equally prideful.
It was quite the coincidence.The conversation with Brilliant Firelsley just now must have been fueled by a similar petulant sentiment. If it hadn't been for Brilliant Firelsley using male pronouns, Julissa might have almost thought Brilliant Firelsley was Haisley. Julissa, without being polite, unwrapped the gift to find a bottle of perfume.
