Elise watched Cynthia left the hallway. Maroon was not standing too far but he was quiet, making him almost not noticeable. Elise shifted her eyes to see the side face of Ian, his face holding a calm expression and a smile that was not for once mischievous. Beelzebub had left along the way without her noticing.
She wondered why Cynthia asked her the question. It sounded to her ears as if Cynthia had gone around the towns near where she lived before to search and ask about her and her family. Did something had to do with her past? Elise could tell that this happened because of Ian's order.
Elise heard Ian spoke, "You keep staring at me and the wall will kiss your face."
Elise stopped, her eyes looking straight in front of her to see it was the wall. If not for Ian stopping her, as he said, her face would have stuck to the wall. The accident embarrassed her.
