Oregon
I heard a knock on the door and lowered my glasses. I was in my office, going through some documents when the knock sounded.
"Who is it?" I asked, my eyes darting to the door.
"It's me, the maidservant!" she replied.
"Oh! You can come in," I smiled.
The door opened, and the lady walked in, carefully shutting it behind her before approaching me.
"So, how is she? Did she eat all the food?" I asked curiously.
She chuckled and nodded. "At first, she didn't want to eat because she seemed to be in a hurry to leave, but I pleaded with her."
"Wait a minute. She said she was hurrying somewhere?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.
She gasped and quickly shook her head. "No, she wasn't hurrying anywhere."
"I heard you. Don't tell me you're trying to lie?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, bowing her head slightly.
"Tell me everything I need to know. What happened?" I demanded.
"She left her room and begged me not to tell you," she whispered.
"Why would she leave her room?" I asked, my voice cold and demanding.
"I have no idea. She just left and didn't tell me anything," she replied, almost shivering.
I took a deep breath
. "So, did she tell you where she was going?" I asked, and she shook her head.
"She didn't tell me anything," she replied, and I stood up.
"You should go now," I said, gesturing for her to leave. She bowed and walked away.
I sighed and grabbed my phone from the table. "Damn!" I muttered under my breath when I realized I didn't have her phone number since I never bought her a phone.
I became worried, wondering where she could have gone and why she tried to hide it from me. I called the pack secretary, instructing her to get a brand new phone for me. I was getting it for Vivian, of course.
After making the call, I hurried out of the office and went straight to her room. I knocked on the door, but there was no reply, so I entered and saw that she wasn't there.
I didn't give up. I looked around, searched the bathroom, and even the balcony, but she was nowhere to be found. I called her name, but all I got was silence.
I sighed in despair and walked towards the door. Just as I was about to open it, the door swung open and hit my face. I groaned and held my face in pain.
"Who is that!" I growled, ready to unleash my anger, but when I saw Vivian before me, I calmed down.
"Vivian..." I whispered.
"I'm sorry, are you hurt?" she asked, coming closer to me.
"I'm fine," I whispered.
"Let me see!" she said, sweeping my hair to the side. She sighed and her face turned sad.
