Close Yet So Far

Drayce accepted her greetings with a light nod and instructed, "Have a seat."

She was used to Drayce asking her to sit, but that was in his own mansion because she was officially his guest. However, her identity in the guest mansion of Griven was different. Here, she was a mere servant. 

She hesitantly looked at her master, who said as if reading her thoughts, "Do not expect the chair to come towards you."

Again, sarcastic words from him. Could he not simply permit her to sit? 

She walked towards the empty seat where Drayce and Yorian were sitting. She felt somewhat relieved that Arlan was sitting behind his desk, and unless she deliberately tilted her head in his direction, she could avoid looking at him. 

Oriana had no idea that Arlan deliberately changed seats to distance himself from her.

Drayce and Yorian could only sigh at the way these two treated each other.
