Grey shouted in shock at Ace's bold action.

"You're late and now you're trying to bribe us with a drink? What do you think we are? Beggars?" Ace's ego was clearly wounded. 

First, Drake had insulted them by calling them dirty country bumpkins, and now Leona was trying to win them over with a bottle of drink. 

He couldn't accept it.

"Hey! Don't be ridiculous! I bought that out of sincerity, not to bribe you. I had no other intentions!" 

Leona, hurt by Ace's rude behavior, snapped back

Leona, hurt by Ace's rude behavior, snapped back.

"Leona, calm down." 

Grey tried to soothe her, but Ace's act of throwing the drink on the floor only fueled her anger. She remembered the effort it took to get those drinks, and now it felt wasted.

"I know you've always had a problem with being on time. You can pull that nonsense anywhere else, but not with me. And don't ever try to win me over with something like that! I'm not a beggar. Got it?"

Ace wasn't interested in hearing any excuses and didn't give Leona a chance to explain her situation.

"Ace, that's enough. It's her first day. Give her a break." 

Ray said, touching Ace's shoulder, trying to defuse the situation.

"Ugh, I knew this would happen. Rich kids like her think they're above the rules. They think they're special. Don't pretend I don't know. You do all this to get praise, don't you?" 

Ace lashed out again.

"Seriously? Who's the one with the nasty attitude here, you or me? You're clearly the worst one here, yet you're blaming me. I didn't even get a chance to apologize. What do you want from me?" 

Leona didn't hold back, firing back at Ace.

"Ha ha, it's cleary your fault, but now you're trying to blame someone else? Oh wait, I forgot. That's just who you are. Descendant  of shitty Alexander. The killer!"
