John Fame lazily said, "As soon as I leave, they'll be in the kitchen. Do you want to stay?"
Lissy Lock, enraged, threw all the beans and left the kitchen.
As she passed by John, she kept her eyes straight ahead, her steps unhalting - a silent testament to her anger.
It was infuriating. She had intended to embarrass him but it seemed she was the one played by John instead!
He had that knack of riling her up every time she tried to remain calm.
Moreover, he was always imposing himself physically!
Taking advantage of his strength, he could always confine her, she couldn't free herself.
Lissy stayed upset till dinner, sitting at the table, silently eating her food.
Seeing her like this, John didn't say anything further.
After dinner, Lissy returned to her room and John went to the study.
It wasn't until the late hours of the night, that John came out of his study and went to Lissy's room without knocking.
Lissy heard the door and without turning around, she knew it was John.
