"What is it that stalling you here?" Maroon spoke and Elise was taken aback by his sharp words. His eyes looking at her didn't turn gentle but she could tell it had became milder compared to the time he left the room.
With nothing to say, she replied, "I'm sorry..." her body bend to see enveloped stacked on his hands. "Is that envelope that would be sent to the post office?" questioned Elise and her question had Maroon to raise his eyebrow.
