Good evening," the greeting is warm. Caller ID was a glorious thing afterall.
"Good evening, ma'am. I do trust that you are well."
Twist was the exemplar of the elite, after all.
"I wanted to inform you of a decision I have made regarding Mr. Heinrich, so you are aware of how I will conduct myself going forward. I recently hosted him in my house, with Madame Durant, and others. I confronted him about his boorish behavior. I informed him that I expected a boon and for him to correct the opinions he has been airing. Over the confrontation, he stated that he expected me to apologize to him. Then later, laughed.
Coupled with how Edward has been acting in public," In Court. "- I have made the decision to no longer speak to him at all. As he cannot conduct himself accordingly."
I am. Hopefully the same for you,” was the easy reply. Her tone not reflecting the brief look at the offered title. It was Jennifer after all.
What did come through, was the raised eyebrow even in the simple and short, ”oh. I see.”
A pause, allowing Jennifer to continue.
”I understand. And I appreciate you letting me know. If there is anything I can do to remedy the situation, please let me know.”
Jennifer was Invictus. Edward was Daeva.
It seemed beyond the realm of possibility that the two would come to a peaceful cohabitation at this point. And if a final confrontation did happen … either way, she lost. With the Kowalsik matter handled and behind her, it was something she could afford to face now. Even if she didn’t want to.
"Yes, I am well. I simply didn't want you to be surprised at the next gathering. I do apologize for simply laying all this out as I have.
Perhaps when things calm down, we could get together?" Jennifer suggests, hopefully. "Talk about things, things that matter to us. Not problems."
