βIβm glad youβre here now. No one comes here except for the maids who clean up sometimes. Just hide for a little while, okay?β
Noir, who was nibbling on his food, raised his head and looked at me. His amber eyes seemed to understand everything I said.\nThe sound of the door closing was louder than usual.
βGoodness.β
As soon as Raymond left, I sank to my seat and sighed deeply.
My trembling legs revealed the anxiety I was feeling. It was a good thing that my dress hid them from Raymondβs view.
Come to think of it, Camilla being quiet for two long weeks seemed to have been a fatal hit on me.
βI have to stay alert.β
Camilla would definitely send me there the very next chance she gets.
Ah, this is really difficult.
I felt this way, but really, I was just too tired.
Not only do I have to look out for my neck, but I also have to worry about being locked up in a mental hospital!
Isnβt it too much that the two paths I have are either the crazy route or the death ending?!
I wanted to cry. I really, really wanted to cry. But I needed to stay calm. I couldnβt allow myself to become a crazy woman just as Camilla wanted.
βGet your act together, Selena.β
Now, I really needed to pull myself together and do what I had to do.
I had sunk so deeply on the sofa, as if Iβd already melded with the cushions, but I stood up suddenly.
βI canβt let this go.β
If there was something I didnβt know, all I had to do was find it out myself.
