Belle rolled her eyes at the way that the men greeted each other stating their complete first and last names. Was it a way for greetings? But why does it sound more like a threat? She thought internally.
"Arthur," Belle called apathetically, catching the attention of two men.
Arthur was hurt by Belle's lack of emotion when she called his name but can he blame her? After what he's done to hurt her he is surprised that she even acknowledges him.
"How're your wounds?" Arthur asked while his eyes were roaming over her body, not in a sensual or vulgar way but more of concern but it was still unacceptable to Alex who was eyeing him intently like a hawk.
Alex cleared his throat.
Arthur heard him but still ignored him and didn't take away his eyes from Belle until they landed on her angelic face.
