Chapter 22: Moving on (3)
"They are busy. Try to stay out of their way," Selene advised Agnes.
"Yes, Milady. Are they doing this for dinner? You missed dinner the first night," Agnes said, curious about what the lord liked to have for dinner. "Should I find you another dress and do your hair?"
"That won’t be needed. I’m sure he doesn’t expect much for dinner. I will have a bite and then get a glass of blood. That is all I need. Strangely, I have not run into him since he returned," said Selene.
What was Xavier up to that they didn’t cross paths?
"Did you want to see him, Milady? I could have spoken to another maid or gone to the butler to inform the lord you seek an audience with him. I should have noticed you wanted to speak with him," Agnes said, thinking poorly of herself since she wasn’t too attentive.
"No, I didn’t want to see him. I just expected for him to pop up once more but the estate is quite large for us to see each other often. It will take some time to get used to," Selene said.
Agnes wondered if she heard wrong that Selene sounded disappointed. Shouldn’t Selene like that she didn’t have to see Xavier often since they weren’t a normal couple?
"I should go to dinner now," Selene said, not wanting to be late. All she needed was blood but she still enjoyed sitting at a table.
When Selene reached the dining room, she was surprised to see that it wasn’t set up. If it wasn’t this that made the servants so busy then what were they in a rush for?
