Chapter 11: Nonsense
When Dominic reached home, a beeline of servants came out to welcome him in the front foyer. Leading the line was the head maid, Mrs. Deng, with a smile on her face.
"Welcome home, Master," Mrs. Deng said in a soft and gentle voice. She then straightened her back after bowing.
The master of the house had a cold expression on his face. He gazed down at her with no trace of emotion in his eyes. "Mary Rose, follow me and report what Heaven has been doing for the past months," he said as he resumed his strides.
"Ah. Yes." Mrs. Deng nervously cleared her throat, following the master inside the mansion. "Master, the young Madam had always been in her room. She would only go out when necessary..."
Dominic listened to the usual reports he was given in the past. Everything was pretty much the same. There was nothing unusual about Heaven's actions for the past few days as well. Mrs. Deng had pretty much finished her report when they reached his office in the mansion.
"That's all?" He asked in a skeptical voice. He arched a brow, stopping from his steps, and glancing over his shoulder to where the head maid was following him the entire time.
"Yes, Master..." Mrs. Deng trailed off with a slight frown on her face as if something struck her. Her sudden pause caught his attention, making him look back at her.
"Now that I think about it, Madam did something unusual yesterday."
"Unusual?"
"Yes. She toured the mansion," she snapped her eyes back at Dominic with genuine confusion written on her face. "The young Madam usually stays in her room, but yesterday, she spent most of her time touring the house and in the theater room."
Dominic was silent, recalling coming home last night, only to be told Heaven was in the theater room. That was unusual and totally not something Heaven would do. Normally, he wouldn't look for her, but every time he would, there was only one place where he could find her, her room.
