She scooted farther away and huffed , I would never ! You two are shameless ! Meanwhile , Elsies blushing response to the crowds teasing had the young heirs and aging executives alike worked into a frenzy .
Andrew had to admit she knew her craft she had skillfully turned the lukewarm reception of the Celestial Nymphaea into an energetic atmosphere .
