Trapped in the Love of the Landlord

11

Immediately I dragged Tatiana to the table closest to us. While others clashed with Mr.'s desk. Avindale and Sir Kingston.

Two girls succeeded, the rest took a table near them. However, my sitting position was directly opposite to that man. As they were about to move places, Alea and Freya took out two empty seats. So, I'm stuck in this very non-strategic place.

"Well, they're very lucky" said Freya, looking on in envy at Samantha and Dorothy who were at par with the hosts.

"House master is very handsome" said Freya.

"I hope she's still single" Tatiana added.

Then the three of them giggled while stealing glances at Lucas. Why is his first name so comfortable?

I tried to refrain from looking straight ahead. However, it is very difficult not to do so. Slowly I stared in the proper motion possible. The pair of eagle eyes across locked my gaze. The blue iris is like a deep ocean that hides all emotions, full of mystery. Even so, in such a close distance, it makes me drift and forget where I stand.

"Watching here!" squealing Freya, disperse the concentration. Soon I threw my eyes somewhere else. Observe the waiters who are carrying trays to serve dishes.

"Oh, no. He's coming here!" added Alea hysterically.

I'm turning. Sure enough, the man looked straight at me as he stepped foot.

Nah! He couldn't have recognized me. He can't recognize me.

"Eh, I want to go to the toilet" I said hurriedly standing up.

"There, Miss. Let me deliver," said a maid who had finished putting down the dishes.

"Thank you," I said, then followed him.

Lothawat! It's really bad.

"Here, My Lady," said the maid, pointing to the partition wall that partially covered the toilet door. We passed through an open corridor and ended up in a closed room.

"Thank you, you may return to duty" I replied politely.

I threw myself behind the bathroom door. Attempting to catch his breath and thinking of strategies in order to avoid Sir Kingston. However, there was no way I would hide in the toilet until the lunch was over. Moreover, the stomach had already started to protest. The energy for the failed adventure this morning, was quite great.

Immediately I headed to the sink, staring at the reflection of the face in the mirror while turning my brain. I wet my hands and patted my cheeks. The cold sensation I hope can calm the mind.

Okay, fine! I took a breath while giving affirmations. Just act normal in front of him, as if nothing happened. Remain in denial if he comes to a confrontation. Yes, I can!

After the confidence gathered, I came out of the toilet. But as it passed through the partition wall, suddenly a person throttled. I spontaneously looked.

Lucas, I mean Sir Kingston's standing next to the exit "Deliberately dodged?"

"Pardon me? I'm sorry, if I go to the toilet as you approach the table, sir. I respect you as much as respect my teacher, Mr. Avindale," I said formally.

"Hemm, if I'm not mistaken, we've met before .... ." His words were clearly hanging, trying to lure me.
