Since he had asked, she gave a tentative reply.
Watching the man's brow furrow slightly, Lianne immediately stuffed her phone back into her pocket and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have insulted you with something as sordid as money. If there's nothing else, I'll be going..."
'No, that's not right.'
'This is my house.'
Lianne unhurriedly corrected herself, "You can go."
Seth Sinclair wasn't angry. He lifted his gaze and shot her a sidelong glance. "I brought you breakfast first thing in the morning, and you're not going to thank me?"
'It's not like I asked him to.'
But now that she'd eaten his food, she couldn't very well be rude.
A polite smile spread across Lianne's lips as she offered her thanks courteously, "Thank you for the breakfast."
"A verbal 'thank you' isn't sincere enough."
