"Mr. Halloway wishes to see you downstairs." A knock on her door, followed by a loud voice, alerted her of the guard outside, making her stop.
She had been pacing around the room since she returned after her conversation with that man. She knew she had to come up with a plan, and soon.
She knew she was supposed to rest before dinner, but how could she? She could not relax even if she tried, knowing her life was in danger.
"Now?" She suspiciously asked, checking on the watch on her wrist.
What did that man want from her this time? It was still early for dinner. Therefore, she could not help but be curious and dubious.
However, she did not think the man gave her a choice as the door opened and the guard waited for her outside. Gracefully, she grabbed the scarf that matched her new dress and followed the man in the hallway.
