Chapter seven

"What were you thinking initially my lady?"

He asked with a stare directly into my hazel eyes.

I could never turn away from his gaze so I looked at him shyly.

"Why aren't you saying anything Liza?"

"Liza!" I exclaimed, he still remembers my name.

What a wild guess, I thought .

"Liza! "This time he said in a more intense deep tone.

"Be calm because you are safe over here.

I suggest you take rest since today has been a stressful day!" He said as he walked out of the room.

The room felt empty when he left but I was also relieved because the room was too tense.

I stood by the window to enjoy the cool breeze and also admire the beautiful sceneries around.

I looked down and found my eyes dizzy as I found myself standing at the edge of a seven storey building .

How possible ? I was thinking of escaping through the window since it was the only option left.

Hmm! I gave a sigh as I murmured to myself, this wouldn't have been an escape but a suicide attack on myself.

I smiled in a dangerous manner usually on the left side of my cheek.

"It's good you have realized how your plans to escape would have ended your life!" He said drawing closer.

"I suggest you think twice before making any decision about your life, as a matter of fact, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! "He added once again .

I wondered if he had an invisible body appearing in front of me and after me all the time without giving me a chance to sense his entry.

Anyway, looks like I have got no choice because I'm in his house , how annoying! I thought .

"You were lost in your thoughts so you didn't hear me knock on your door .

My lady, I have been standing here for the past five minutes but you haven't even sensed my presence.

I wonder what has taken complete attention over your mind , Liza.

If you are scared of being here, then don't worry because no harm will befall you in my house !"He emphasized with his husky voice .

Could he read my thoughts too?

I muttered to myself as I looked into his gaze, this time more confidently, to show him that I 'm not scared but deep down, I could feel tension around my body.

"I wish I could!" he said "but I can't!

Your facial expressions told me you were completely lost in your thoughts !"He said calmly with a smile .

"Who are you and what exactly do you want from me?!"I asked with a bit of rage in my silvery voice .

"Is this how you thank someone who had saved your life or is it your special gesture for appreciation? "

He was right, ever since I woke up, I had not thanked him yet but I had bombarded him with several questions already.

After all, I owe him an appreciation for saving my life.

"Don't bother !" He said .

"I'm not perturbed by your attitude. "

I wondered what was wrong with him after his face was covered with a frown . What did I say wrong?

Anyway, even in his frown , he looked more handsome, I thought .

"I don't like it when people judge me based on their thoughts , I would prefer you ask me instead, it would put all the missing pieces in your thoughts together!"He said as he made his way through the exit.

How annoying! Who and what does he think of himself?! I said as I sat on my bed.

Once again, he left me in a dilemma, damn it! I said.

Who does he think he is? I asked myself with a feeling of spite ran down my spine.

Just then a maid entered the room, she was the same maid who brought me the lemonade I had not even tasted.

"Don't I have my privacy over here?"

I asked turning directly into her gaze, no doubt she was a beautiful young woman with her curvaceous structure.

"Hmm! I see you have not touched the lemonade I had brought you earlier" She said looking directly into my eyes with a smile .

"That does not answer my question !" I said turning her around and this time confidently.

Instead of having a regretful look on her face, she put the items she was holding on the bed indicating she had come to change the bed spreads.

She put her hands over my shoulders and sat by my side on the bed as if I was her crony.

"You should learn to listen to smaller sounds" She said in a croon voice.

"I knocked at your door three consecutive times but to no avail so I entered!"

Maids and their masters were all annoying.

She looked at me stuffing a crumb into her mouth .

"The party is large, you can join!"She stuffed more crumbs in her mouth .

"Thanks but no thanks !" I said in an annoying tone.

"Has someone told you once , drawing more closer to me, that you look beautiful when you frown" She asked stuffing more crumbs into her mouth .

I looked at her with the corner of my eyelid and kept silent .

"Oh come on! Don't behave like a crone because you are a sinfully beautiful young lady and any man who looks at you once won't turn away their gaze that easily. Believe me, this is the best advice you can get from a friend!"

"A friend?! Awwn God! this lady was so annoying! "

I thought she was a maid so why does she speak without a cringe on her face.

"I'm a maid, yes I know, but you seem cool to hang out with!"

I wondered what guts she had to say all these and sit closely by my side with her arms over my shoulder.

I was already frustrated and it was as if she was mainly born to annoy me.

Without a shyly smile or fear on her face , she said , "I'm twenty years of age so I can understand your worry especially being of the same sex. I know you are nervous and a bit scared but don't be, because you won his heart. Just confide in me as you are here.

My name is Klara Barnes!"
