“Ms. Sterling, care to make a new friend?”
—Timothy!
He had a smile on his face, but his eyes held a powerful, predatory glint.
Anastasia’s smile faded. “Juliet, why don’t you go on ahead? I’ll catch up with you in a minute.”
Juliet looked worried but did as she was told and walked away.
“What do you want?” Once Juliet was out of earshot, Anastasia crossed her arms, looking at Timothy with impatience.
Timothy stared at her face, mesmerized. “—I don’t know if you’ll believe this, but it was love at first sight for me.”
Anastasia raised an eyebrow coolly. “Mr. Lawson, allow me to remind you that I am a married woman.”
Timothy smiled. “That’s fine. I don’t mind.”
Anastasia was incredulous. “...Are you insane?”
His smile widened. “You can tell?”
Anastasia was speechless.
She stood stunned for two seconds, then, without another word, turned and walked away.
She went to the garden to find Juliet but couldn’t see her anywhere.
She thought Juliet might have returned to the main hall, but after a quick look around, there was still no sign of her.
Anastasia frowned.
Juliet was a very obedient girl. If she told her to wait in the garden, she wouldn’t just wander off. If something had come up, she would have called. This wasn't right!
She immediately pulled out her phone to call her, but just then, a call came through from Juliet.
“Anastasia! I’m upstairs… Ah!”
