"Elizabeth, we have more stores to get to, so if you please.'" Came Mr. Knight's impatient voice from the other side of the door.
I still wasn't used to him calling me by my first name, but since he used it this morning, he hasn't gone back to the previous "Miss Bennet".
I sighed before stepping out of the dressing room.
"Sir, I'm not so sure about this one..." I trailed off, while giving a slight twirl so he could see the whole dress.
When I looked up, Mr. Knight's eyes were roaming over every inch of my form. I could feel the heat rushing towards my face and a funny tingling feeling settling in my stomach.
Why did he have to look at me like that? It was almost like he wanted to...
No, this was Mr. Knight, he wouldn't be looking at me like that... and I was most definitely not excited at the mere thought of it.
No, in fact, I was uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that I wished I had something to cover myself up with. But, it seemed that I forgot how to operate my legs and was now glued to the spot.
Mr. Knight cleared his throat, looking away from me and avoiding eye contact al together.
"Uhm, yes... I think you might be right. Let's try another one." He pulled out his phone and started scrolling through it.
That was strange. Was Mr. Knight actually uncomfortable?
