Chapter 19
"Close the door, Lucy. She is not properly dressed," said Zayne, not wanting anyone to come in and see Rose as she was now.
Lucy stared at the pair for a moment then turned away as she came out of the shock of seeing Zayne here. She had turned her back for a few minutes but that was all this woman needed to lure Zayne here.
Lucy couldn’t believe that Zayne would entertain this. What happened to the man he knew? Why was he entertaining this woman’s tricks and being wary?
Lucy closed the door as Zayne asked. "Since she is not dressed, you should leave so I can help her. I brought one of my dresses."
Zayne turned away from Rose so she could get up onto the bed without fearing he would see her naked. "If I leave her being taken care of by you, I might return and find her without a blanket. Where is the food she is to have?"
Lucy avoided looking Rose’s way since it had to be enjoyable to see Zayne against her. "I informed one of the maids to bring a plate of food for her. It took some time to find a dress that might fit her-"
"I didn’t know you change sizes every day, Lucy. How hard it must have been for you to have to pick from so many sizes. And you wear the same style whenever you take a break from your armour. Don’t try to lie to me, Lucy. You’ll never succeed," said Zayne.
For as long as Lucy was part of his group, Zayne saw her wearing the same style of dress in different colours. It wasn’t a hard decision to decide which one should go to Rose. Not unless Lucy had suddenly changed to be interested in dresses.
Zayne looked at the dress in Lucy’s hands. "Took some time to pick the worst one?"
