Chapter 60: Crossed a line (2)
Annalise thought of this as a punishment Rafael or Mavis had placed on her. Why was it that each way she turned, she had to hear this ridiculous name he used for her?
"Just seeing you brightens up my day," Logan said as he drew closer to Annalise. He thought there was some hope when he saw Annalise smiling.
Annalise smiled as she imagined herself in the water, pushing him under and never letting him come back up. Then she would never have to hear those two words again. "I have work to do," she said, turning to follow the other maids.
Most had stopped to look at Logan since he was quite close to where they stood.
Aria, who found it unfortunate that she had to work the same job as Annalise the day after, frowned as she looked at Logan, who was clearly interested in Annalise, but Annalise was acting like she did not care for his advances.
Logan was a well-sought man among the knights because of his charming personality and his close relationship with Rafael. Not only had Annalise caught Rafael’s attention, but now she had someone like Logan chasing after her.
Aria wished Annalise was not part of the group washing the sheets so she would not have to witness this. It was annoying to see Annalise be so loved for doing absolutely nothing.
"Why are all of you going so far down the river to be swept away? Stay here so the knights can protect you," Logan said, so he could keep Annalise close by. He ignored the mumbling from the men who had heard him. None of those lazy bastards wanted to work. He stood still even when they splashed water at him.
Annalise took the other knights’ reaction as a no, and even if they were offering to help them, she would rather not stay. Plus, the knights would distract most of the other maids from getting any work done, and there was a certain time that Mavis wanted them to be back. "The young master wouldn’t be happy to see you not only swimming around but also helping us," she said.
