Wolves of Roma

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

"Where the hell is he?" Roma cursed.

Adrian did not show any expression, it was very rare for Roma to curse. That too curse her son, who currently was missing.

"I think he might have gone for a run" Adrian added.

She sighed in frustration.

"He might be back soon" Adrian suggested trying to appease his frustrated monarch.

But they knew if Maxwell wanted he would disappear for hours.

She just shook her head, she was in a catch 22 situation. If she summoned him back and it turned out to be nothing it would be hard explaining it to him, but on the other hand... She shrugged, the girl wasn't going anywhere. It was better to set up an accidental meeting rather than getting her son's hopes up.

She would regret this decision later.

Evelyn rolled her breakfast cart to the room and one of the guards opened the door.

She was surprised to see that the room instead of being empty like usual had two occupants. Roma and Adrian.

"Good Morning" She politely greeted them as she rolled the cart to its destination, the table.

As she was transferring contents she heard Roma from behind her "Could you pour me some coffer dear?"

"Sure" Evelyn obliged

She poured some coffee in a cup and up a container of cream and sugar on a tray and took it to where Roma was sitting.

"Here you go Roma" She said, putting the tray in front of her.

"Thank you....Evelyn isn't it?" Roma asked, pouring some cream and adding two cubes of sugar in to her cup and stirring gently.

"Yes, ma'am" Evelyn confirmed.

"How old are you?"

"18 ma'am"

"Are you in school?"

"Yes ma'am, senior year"

"Good, so you graduate this year?"

"I do ma'am"

Roma just nodded

"Thank you Evelyn" She smiled at the girl dismissing her.

"Have a nice day ma'am" she looked at Adrian "You to Adrian" she added.

He gave her a polite smile and nodded "You too Evelyn."

The waited in silence as the girl left with her cart closing the door behind her.

"She is pretty" Roma voiced her thoughts out.

Adrian just nodded, yes she was a pretty girl.

"Do you think it's her?" Adrian asked.

Roma gave a resigned sigh "I don't know, could be. It's Maxwell who needs to confirm. I am just going on a hunch"

Knowing Roma Adrian knew that her hunches hardly proved wrong.

But he understood why she was keeping this from Maxwell, she didn't' want to get her Son's hopes up.

Evelyn delivered breakfast for couple more rooms until she encountered a grumbling Amy in the second floor. This floor had been her last stop before heading back to the kitchen.
