"Are you challenging me now, Katherine!" his low growl would have shook her in the past.
The voice was so cold and this was the first time that he had called her by her name.
"The baron's father is a close friend of my father." she said while looking away. She felt humiliated to talk about it.
Not because she was ashamed of being here. But she was ashamed that he still had that effect on her.
Though she hated him, she did not have the courage to challenge his authority when he looked at him with such a cold voice.
"I am here to help an old benefactor who had helped me in bading goodbye to my parents when i had no one to support me.'' Though her voice was still strong and cold, he could feel a bit of trembling in it when he looked at the window.
For a second, he felt guilt. He forgot that she had still not cleared how she reached this far without the knowledge of anyone.
