"Liah, Lord D'vourne requested your presence at the dining hall."
I smiled at Jarred before standing up from the couch and put down the book that I almost finish reading on the glass table. The story won't let me stop but knowing that my Master was waiting for me on the other floor have me gave up the thought of finishing the novel.
I untied my hair and let the wavy threads cover my neck to where my scars were almost fading due to the medicine Xeus have ordered me to take.
"Let's go?"
I ask making Jarred who was waiting patiently at the door look up to me. He took a glance of me before he opened the door and step behind to let me go out first.
"You know, you don't need to do that."
"I know that our status are almost on the same level but you're still a lady. A lady should be treated properly."
I just shrug my shoulders to what he have said. He smiled at me as I walk past him, finding my way to the elevator. I heard his footsteps followed me behind after shutting the door with a soft thud.
"I'm not picking up with you. I'm stating the fact."
He said catching up to me. I know he's trying to be nice but if he goes like this I bet his life won't take long. Especially when everyone around was grabbing some people above them and step down on them.
"You're too dumb to think like that."
"You're hurting my ego."
"I'm not picking up with you. I'm stating the fact."
I said following his tone a while ago. He just look at me for a few seconds before laughing nervously at me. I'm not going to say sorry for what I have said. I believed that what I did was something that can open his eyes. Not everyone deserves his kindness.
"If you keep on going like that to everyone believe me when I say you're slowly losing your breath Mr."
I warned as I push the button before standing in front of the elevator waiting for it to land. I just heard him chuckled beside me which made me look at him. He just shake his head on me which I ignored.
I haven't seen my master this day. Well, except this morning before he left. He have been busy this past few days. And he always looks exhausted when he came back from wherever he is from. I always noticed it even though his figure never change, especially the way he was facing everyone. I am his pet after all, slowly, I can tell the difference of him or if there is something wrong and unusual.
"By the way, we have guests today. I hope you will be more careful."
Guest? I never heard that guest are already allowed to enter Echelon. Especially without an invitation from the Lords to enter the building. And when someone is being invited, it will be informed to everyone so that no one will get mistaken.
