Chapter 22
The lady who wore the dress looked utterly embarrassed at the harsh tear of the dress she wore . Her hands quickly touched her shoulder to feel her skin . Penny could feel sweat beginning to form from the worry for what she had done . Her intentions had not been to insult whoever wore the dress but with her body still recovering from the fever where Damien had played her by making her wear to only remove it, she had not thought it through .
To spite him at that time, she had pulled out the strings with her nails, turning a little patch of the dress loose . She realized how childish she had been for doing something that could cost her neck right now . With her heart beginning to beat again, her hands turned clammy . Very discreetly she wiped the palms of her hand on the dress she wore .
"I must execute the man for bringing me such low-quality dress," Damien said walking towards Lady Ursula, "Sincere apologies for the dress . "
"Please don't be," Lady Ursula's cheeks had turned red . Penny wasn't sure if it was because of embarrassment or anger . Maybe it was both, thought Penny and as the thought crossed Damien threw a glance at her to which she shuddered further . Oh, no . He knew she had something to do with it, didn't he? "I will close his shop . How dare he provide you with something so low!"
"Don't bother yourself with that . I will be sure to handle the matter personally ," his words pressed on the word personally which further added the fret to Penny's nerves .
"Please excuse me, Mr . Quinn while I go change back my clothes," Lady Ursula held her hand on her shoulder . Secretly, Lady Ursula had hoped that Damien would offer his coat to hide the little mishap that took place but he didn't make a move the coat . Damien didn't bother to nod and saw the lady leave the room . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Penny felt awful for doing something so rude . By the few words she saw Damien and her exchange, Lady Ursula was pompous and smitten by Damien Quinn which she didn't know what was so appealing except for his handsome face . The man had flippant mood which shifted left and right like a tail's whiplash . While Penny was looking at the woman leave the room who was closely followed by the maid who had entered the room previously, she failed to notice the man walk towards until he stood in front of her .
She took a couple of steps away from him until she was cornered between the two walls, "Nowhere to run anymore," Damien smiled at her making her gulp . The smile on his face fell down like water being thrown at the fire, "Tell me, little mouse, did you have anything to do with the dress?" his red eyes staring at her jade green eyes .
When he placed a hand on the wall, she heard the light thud which made her back go straighter than ever while she leaned, "Why would you think that, Master Damien?" Penny asked him, her words turning to be innocent like she was being accused of something she knew nothing of .
"Don't try to pull that face on me," she heard Damien warn her .
"What face?"
"The one that you would for the theater," Penny's eyes widened at the revelation, "I know you used to work in the theater, Penny . Don't test my patience and be a good mouse when I ask you questions," out of the whole world Penny would have not guessed for him to know about her little work which even her uncle and aunt didn't know of . As both she and her mother used to leave in another village, her relatives had no clue about it which had died down as a secret once she had left the village and moved to her relative's house after her mother's death .
"How do you know about it?" she asked him, the innocence being replaced by a wisdom which she had come to acquire with age .
