"Looks like you're out for a walk, not work."
Delilah stared at his furious face. 'Why does he look so infuriated? I was with his friend. Didn't he himself let me go with him?' She thought.
His sharp darker eyes gaze at her.
Conor cleared his throat. "Accept my apology, Everett. She will be back early from tomorrow, I promise."
Everett's eyes never left Delilah.
Conor took his leave and went back to his village.
Delilah lowered her eyes. She did not know what to say at that moment.
Did he tell her to come at a certain time? Did she forget that?
Why was he outside? Was he waiting for her?
So many questions came to her mind but she did not dare to ask him.
"Master, I am going to prepare dinner." She said and opened the door to enter. He did not stop her either.
