Chapter 12: Another Crazy Encounter (2)
"Based on the fact you’ve uttered a few panicking words, I can’t say you’ve lost your tongue overnight, but it is fair since you decided to ruin my carriage." Remarked Cassian as he stepped down from his half destroyed carriage.
He shook his head in pity as he observed the carriages’ poor condition, ’Amade might come down with a stroke if he sees this.’ Thought Cassian before letting his indecipherable gaze settle on the lady who had her back against him, shoulders tensed up in alarm.
"I...I...d_didn’t know there_was_"
"You..d_didn’t know the_there wa..was.." he parodied her gibberish accent, "to be frank, I get easily irritated when people speak like there’s hot food burning their mouth, speak normally before I lose my patience. Did you plan on stealing my carriage, or perhaps you planned on stealing the gentleman inside the carriage?"
"No!" Madeline spun around to look at him, waving her hands in a gesture that indicated he mistook her intention, "I promise I only wanted to lend the carriage." She quickly explained before shutting herself up, knowing she couldn’t possibly return the carriage with its current condition.
She should have checked the carriage properly before taking it earlier, but her shady situation at that moment didn’t give her that chance, and now she’s brought this embarrassing encounter upon herself.
While Madeline was silently worrying about how she was going to fix her mistake, she didn’t notice the surprised look in the young lad’s eyes as he stared at her.
His Amber-brown eyes checked her out from head to toe, then it widened slightly when he guessed who the lady in a wedding dress was.
’It’s the same lady.’ thought Cassian in silent surprise, but if she’s here and not his coachman, where’s Amade??
