Every word was confusing. I layed on the bed with eyes closed tightly and my mind trying to organize every word
"what does that mean, I'm a detective and yet nothing is coming into this head of mine" frustrated, I stood up trying to think
The sound of knocking on the door made me take a deep breath. Opening the door, it was Arnold who stood. His slim tall appearance makes me wonder about things that shouldn't come into my head
"Lord valnor would like to see you at the hall, my lady you are quite late" he said with a gloved hand on his chest
"sure, it really skipped my mind" I followed Arnold downstairs and throughout the way, he didn't speak a word
I was the person who insisted on going back to the mansion despite his disapproval. I wanted to learn more about valnor and his butler and also it will be rude if we leave without saying goodbye and valnor also told us immediately we came back about a mask ball which will be taking place tonight.
Upon reaching the hall room door, the butler opened the door and I saw valnor sitting close to the fireplace with something like an invitation card in his hands
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting valnor, I was in a mood of thinking about different things going on...." I was still talking when he interrupted
"I understand you Lee, I just wanted to give this invitation card to you and also so you can give it to your williams friend" he handed over to me the cards and slightly smiled
"thanks for the invitation valnor...." again he interrupted
"sorry for me always cutting through but I still wanted to tell you that I've already have the best different costumes for the occasion so you can choose from any" why was valnor acting so strange and also nice towards me. I just met him on a ship hours ago and he treats me like we've known each other for years
"thanks again and also for everything, but why do you behave so nice towards me? We just met" of course, being inquisitive was my nature but not too much
He stood up and walked towards me, I didn't know why he looked cold all of a sudden, I thought he was a friendly guy with smiles but this face brought questions upon my soul
There was not less than an inch from where we stood, I didn't break eye contact with him and he also didn't want to break it.....
"Lee, you are different not just because you are a detective but that you are something unique inside" he whispered with a softened expression
There was something I always hated so much than men who can quickly switch emotions so easily like nothing has happened.
"well thank you" being polite is always one thing my foster parents always tell me everyday before their mysterious death
"you're welcome" from his way of speaking I was pretty sure he wanted me to say more
