"Cotlin.. Wait a minute. Lord Cotlin." Diana held the front of her dress as she followed him with hasty steps. He did not stop walking as if he could not hear her until he reached a secluded spot. Then he stopped and turned on his heels. His eyes staring at her deeply made her pause too.
For a second now that he had stopped, she felt like a fool. What does she have to tell him? Why was she here in the first place?
"I." she struggled but when his eyes narrowed, she felt her anger rising again, "you ignored me." she accused the man with a hiss but he only raised a brow. His lips twisting into a side smile that looked no less than a mockery.
"Why? Did you want me to address you in front of everyone? Bow my head in front of you because you are a noble." The voice was calm, sweet and enticing as she remembered yet he felt coldness clutching her feet.
