Elise heard the sounds of heels as Lady Ellen and Duke Gary left the dining room. Ian had stood up from the seat but Elise couldn't find her eyes to look at him in fear to see his disappointed face. She had just fallen deeply in love with the Lord that seeing his angry face made her on the corner. But Elise didn't stay worried for so long, she looked up bravely to meet his red eyes. Their gazes were exchanged each having their on thought until a smile came to Ian's lips to Elise's relief.
Nevertheless she recall that it was her fault that started the friction between the family of the Duke and him. She could also see the askance expression Maroon who had come inside the dining room wore as he looked at her but she didn't want to read to deeply on the man's expression as Maroon was a person with a stern expression. "I apologize, Master Ian, I had done a mistake." She said with a bow, Ian lifted his brows seconds passed to minutes but Elise heard no answer from him.
