Chapter 90
Rose ate as fast as she could whilst trying her best not to choke on her food again. Silence fell upon the room as Zayne kept himself busy by eating as well.
Rose finished first and placed her fork down to then wait on Zayne. She was still his maid while she was here so she would take the plates from his room.
To her surprise, food was placed on her plate. "I am full," Rose said, wanting him to take it back. He was the one who needed to eat more. "I am only waiting for you to be done."
"I cannot eat all of this by myself," said Zayne.
"That is a lie. You said that you do not like liars. I was there for the feast Janice did for you and Finn. You ate more than this. Please take it back and eat more," Rose said, lifting her plate toward Zayne.
The corners of Zayne’s mouth curled. He enjoyed that Rose had not forgotten that he hated liars. "I did not lie to you, Rose. I had already eaten before you came and only had dinner sent for me because you were coming. Should I take another bite, I might ruin this table and your night with an awful sight."
"Oh," Rose lowered her plate. "I am full and cannot take another bite. If I do, I will ruin your night. It is best to throw away the food since it is only a little and not worth us throwing it up. I shall-"
"A maid will come for it. You are to retire to your bed now so you will be up early in the morning. I would hate to see you falling asleep as soon as the ride starts," Zayne said, but he still wanted to see the funny sight of her trying to stay awake.
"I will not fall asleep during the ride. I am used to waking up early. I will go right to bed and be ready when you or anyone knocks on my door. Good night," Rose bid goodbye and then stood up.
As she stood up, Zayne stood up which confused her.
’Is he walking me to his door?’ She wondered.
