Chapter 54: _People Are Annoying
Odessa’s POV
*****
"Sometimes I feel like he annoys me for the fun of it, you know?" I said to my maid, Caroline, who was busy helping brush my hair for the evening.
After the experience with the tailor and all earlier today, I avoided Kaelos like a plague till night time.
I was still reeling from the way he had stopped me from blurting out that we were mates because Celine and her mother were around.
It wasn’t fair! I didn’t have anyone to talk to about this whole thing with Kaelos and it was eating me up mentally.
Heck, even though I didn’t tell Caroline that we were mates, she still gave me awkward looks when I talked about him the way I did.
Anyway, after a few unconformable seconds of silence, Caroline cleared her throat before she responded to my last statement.
"Yeah, I’m trying not to say anything that would make me lose my job." She explained, an apologetic look on her face. "Sorry about that."
I rolled my eyes, using my fingers to playfully flick the hands she used to brush my hair.
To my surprise, she had a genuine smile on her face after I did that, which was visible in the mirror in front of me.
