Chapter 203: The hunt (4)
Rafael did as Annalise asked and left her alone to pretend to hunt a rabbit.
Annalise listened closely to know when the person was approaching or if she could hear an arrow whistling through the air since it was easy to get your hands on an arrow today. She had to try not to jump with excitement that someone was bringing a fight to her.
After the fight, she might just shake their hands since they were so kind to bring her some excitement.
"Annalise."
Annalise frowned when she heard the familiar voice of the new maid Olivia. She turned around to where she had walked with Rafael from the river and saw Olivia poking her head from behind a tree. The person following them turning out to be Olivia was a surprise, but now Annalise realised why she was getting a weird feeling these days when Olivia was near.
"I got lost from my group and saw the two of you. I’ve been waiting so long for him to leave so I could ask you if he would be angry that I got lost," Olivia said, slowly walking to Annalise while looking around for Rafael. He was nowhere in sight so it gave her a small window to take Annalise.
It was every other job she had where the target would be so foolish to be left alone for anyone to hurt them. It made the job easier.
"He wouldn’t be angry with you. Just concerned," Annalise answered. Right now, she couldn’t think of any reason why Olivia was snooping around. Was it because Olivia wanted gossip about her and Rafael? Was Olivia really that bored?
"I thought you said there was nothing between you and Rafael? I saw the two of you close to each other against the tree. It did not look like you were just his maid."
