Chapter 30: Are they aliens?
"You're kidding... right?"
Mark managed to get that response out after a while. He was prepared to hear a lot of absurd stuff, but that didn't include him being spied on for as long as he was alive.
"You never noticed their presence, Master?" Lara asked, her voice laced with suspicion. "Or did you pretend not to?"
"And what made you think I would do that?" Mark glanced at his maid, curios about the reason behind her absurd question.
"As it took you quite some time to acknowledge my existence, I suspect you would ignore any unusual occurrences around you for the same reason."
"You... you're still salty about it?"
"Whatever do you mean?"
Though he found it absurd, Mark saw the logic in what Lara said. Ignoring people was a side effect of his attempts to live with the voices in his head; if he started to worry about others watching him the entire time, he probably wouldn't have lasted for as long as he had.
Natalie's loud laughter brought their attention back to her. He never trusted her to begin with and now she gave him a reason to trust her even less. Her joyous mood didn't make any sense.
"Are you going to spill the beans or what?"
Since they stalked him for almost twenty years then surely they have a good reason.
