The two men kept calm but were both on alert.
Ivan stopped mid-step and looked back. He said affirmatively, “Wait for me in the living room. I’ll come downstairs in less than 30 minutes.”
Then he went upstairs.
Thirty minutes sounded like an essential point. The two men wondered if Ivan was hinting at something.
Ivan thought he would hang on for half an hour even if there was something in the wines.
His men didn’t insist on following him. They checked the time in unison and remembered his reminder.
The design and decoration of the second floor looked perfect. Ivan was taken to a room that was far away from the staircase.
The maid knocked on the door and reported, “Excuse me, Lady Emily. Mr. Marsh has drunk up all the wines. He’s at the door now.”
The door was opened, and a young maid bowed at Ivan politely. “Please come in, Mr. Marsh.” However, she left the room.
The door was open. Ivan could tell it was a big room with romantic decorations.
He entered, stepping on the costly carpet. A faint fragrance of a woman’s perfume filled the air.
As he walked, he saw the girl sitting on the bed.
Her blond hair hung over her shoulders. She was holding a Bible and wearing a white lace long-sleeved gown. Upon hearing his footsteps, she looked over at him, her eyes as blue as sapphires.
Right then, the bedroom door was gently closed.
Ivan looked back without remarking. When he withdrew his gaze, he found Emily calmly gazing at him without blinking.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Marsh.”
Her voice wasn’t loud but hoarse. Seemingly something was wrong with her vocal cords.
Ivan approached her and stopped before the bed. “Lady Emily, right?” he asked gentlemanly.
After drinking her fruit wines, he hadn’t felt anything abnormal, but he was still alert.
“Yes, I am,” the girl answered with a smile, and her voice lowered.
