“You thought you were all so spectacular that you wouldn’t need the help?” She laughs, shaking her head. “Arrogance isn’t a good look on you.”
“That isn’t what I meant,” I mumble, feeling entirely put in my place.
“That is not to say I’m not impressed by what you’ve all come up with so far, because I am.

Madame Tuillard sits on the edge of her desk, cocking her head to the side as she studies me. “Mr Tyson was correct in teaming you up with Dax. He’s a talented dancer, however…”

Madame Tuillard looks furious, but she clearly doesn’t want to have an argument in front of me. “Well, if that’s all?” Madame Tuillard says, effectively dismissing me.
“Yep, that’s all,” I reply, plastering on a fake smile as I stride off down the hall in search of Dax, and wondering what the fuck the Breakers have got mixed up in.
