The way she spoke to him felt impersonal and less business in design. If she were to be his partner, they would need a better understanding. âIâm not the king; My lord is not on par with what we are doing here today.â He began to gather the papers when she asked for copies. Of course, it was in their rights to request them. âDo you wish to wait, or shall I send them hereafter?â He asks, noticing the way she was looking at him then.
Though he knew he had trouble reading people, he almost felt as if she was trying to look into him. âAs am I.â He spoke only to respond to her without causing awkwardness in the silence. âI also understand your family must be ready to end the loss of you from their presence.â Knowing the troublesomeness of traveling to and from, just to settle past issues.
âI do hope your parents do not think ill of this situation or even myself for causing this interval.â
âBut you do hold the title of lord before your name, do you not?â she replied curiously with a head tilt. âDoes that not mean addressing you as âmy lordâ is appropriate, especially considering our difference in status?â She gave a slight smile before replying. âI can wait as long as I do not impose on you or your staff. If it is preferred, you can send it after I have gone.â
His comment caused another smile to cross her. âYou are truly considerate, but my family will not be much more fearful if I am gone for slightly longer. With our travels for business, we are well aware that many things can delay the travel. The trip to your estate was so calm, they might expect I have another day left before I even arrive.â
Wanda shook her head. âOn the contrary. My mother is ashamed of what my fatherâs request did for our families, and they both regret not telling us sooner and forcing me to find out the way I did. My father was hoping you were initially requesting business with no awareness of what happened between them.â
