Edwin grew restless as the time passed. He kept asking Rees about Ruth and if Zoe had contacted him but was assured by the other that he did not receive any message and Ruth must be fine.
Then why does he feel restless all of a sudden?
The meeting was nowhere near to end, and Edwin already wished to wrap it up and head straight to his bed.
~"Rees, see if Elsie has recieved any message from Zoe."~ Edwin ordered after an hour.
The sun had set by now. Rees sighed. He was at the door since the beginning of the meeting, and no man had stepped out of the room yet. Rees was bombarded with questions by Theodora and Douglas, but he avoided them as much as he could.
~"Yes, Master!"~
Rees walked to Elsie's chamber and knocked on the door but received no response.
"Where is Lady Elsie?" He asked the guard who was stationed outside her door.
"Lady left her chamber about half an hour ago." He informed.
