Fear Of Loss

"I am sorry," Ember replied in a weak voice. 

Erlos stared at her for a while and said, "Miss, why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong." His long ears twitched as he voiced out his frustration. "It should be me who should apologize. I should have warned you what kind of person she is beforehand. But you don't need to bother with her. She is nothing but a spoiled brat because Sire is her guardian."

Ember simply smiled at him to show her thanks, and just then, Clio and Reya appeared with the tea and snacks. When they saw Isa was not there, they felt instant relief.

"Miss, you should have tea to help improve your mood." Clio arranged tea for her on the balcony. 

Erlos was ready to leave, "I shall excuse myself then."

"Wait," Ember stopped him. "Have a tea with me? They made more than enough for two people…"

Seeing her large innocent gaze, Erlos did not have the heart to refuse.
