Mae's fear swallowed her words.
“T concur. Guide me through the necessary steps,” Mae surrendered.
Bria and Mae, partners in secrecy, emerged from the study. Bria cast furtive
glances around before leaning closer, her voice a conspiratorial whisper.
“Mr. Thomas is bound for the study later. Hurry, fetch Millie here as soon as the
wings of time allow.”
Meanwhile, Millie was found in contemplation, ensconced on a chair by the
tranquil lotus pool.
In the last few days, her mind was a wandering ghost, tethered neither here nor
there. Just last night, she had been seized by a nightmare in which her
grandmother's life ebbed away, jolting her awake in cold terror.
“Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Thomas summons you to the study. He has words that await
your ears alone.” Mae's voice was tinged with anxiety as she approached.
“He desires my audience?”
“Yes, Mrs. Thomas.”
Mae's eyes fell, as if unable to bear the weight of Millie's gaze.
With faith in the summons, Millie rose gracefully, her path set towards the villa.
Upon reaching the study, a turn revealed that Mae had vanished, likely swept
away by duties.
Millie's hand raised, a soft knock at the door, but silence was her only reply.
With gentle insistence, she nudged the door open, entering a room devoid of
presence.
Her brow furrowed in puzzlement, and she was about to retreat when her eyes
caught a fallen chair.
Drawn closer, she discovered the fractured remains of porcelain scattered like
forgotten memories on the floor.
