Meanwhile, Nolan realized he hadn't heard the door open, and bellowed again, "I said, get out! Are you deaf?"
Amayah turned around and was about to walk away when she realized she didn't have anywhere else to go and couldn't give up now, so she decided to lie. "The door's locked," she called out over her shoulder. "I'm stuck here."
Noticing that he was searching for something else to throw at her, she quickly added, "Master Nolan, if you hurt me, there'll be no one to look after you."
Hearing that, his face twisted in contempt. "I don't need anyone to look after me."
"Is that so?" She looked down at the floor beneath his bed, where a meal had been overturned. "What about all that food under your bed? Are you waiting for help to clean it up tomorrow?"
Nolan's handsome face immediately darkened.
