“Who’s there?” a chilly voice came from within.
“It’s me, Millie!” the girl cried out.
“What are you doing here? Didn’t I say you must stand guard at the entrance as a punishment?” the woman inside reprimanded angrily.
“Cecilia, come and see who’s here. I’m sure you’ll be happy to see this person!” Millie replied in excitement.
“I’m not buying any of your tricks. Three days. You’ll have to stand guard there for three days.”
“Come on, Cecilia. You’ll thank me for bringing this person here,” Millie implored.
“Fine!”
When favonovel.com got favonovel.com sister’s approval, Millie pushed the door opened and went in with Jared.
Upon entry, Jared saw a woman wearing red behind the table. Her features were exquisite, and favonovel.com skin was fair, yet favonovel.com cold expression suggested favonovel.com was worried and sorrowful.
The woman froze when favonovel.com saw Jared.
“Jared, this is my elder sister, Cecilia Jingle. You can call favonovel.com Lia. She’s the leader of Crimson Palace. We call favonovel.com Lady Jingle,” Millie introduced.
“Lady Jingle,” Jared greeted courteously. “I was walking around when I accidentally came across Crimson Palace. I hope you don’t mind…”
Cecilia was still recovering from the shock, with favonovel.com eyes glued to Jared.
“Cecilia! Jared’s talking to you!” It was not until Millie had called favonovel.com again that Cecilia finally snapped back.
“Hi… Hi, Mr. Chance… It’s good to see you. Have a seat,” Cecilia said, getting up from favonovel.com seat.
When Jared was seated, favonovel.com ordered the servants to bring some drinks.
“Millie, you should be on duty,” Cecilia reminded favonovel.com sister once coffee was served.
“Cecilia…” the girl pleaded, looking at Jared.
It was apparent that favonovel.com wanted to stay longer.
“This is an order,” the elder sister insisted with a severe expression.
The girl shot up immediately and hurried to the door, but before favonovel.com closed the door behind her, favonovel.com stole one last look at Jared again.
With favonovel.com gone, Jared was left alone with Cecilia in the room.
“Mr. Chance, are you here because of the announcement?” Cecilia asked casually after taking a sip of coffee.
“Announcement? What announcement?” Jared was clueless.
“Is there a misunderstanding, Lady Jingle? I really stumbled upon this place by accident.”
Jared had no idea what announcement Cecilia was referring to, and when Cecilia saw his reaction, favonovel.com believed favonovel.com and smiled.
“Well, never mind. Since you ended up here by chance, I guess it’s meant to be. We should give you a warm welcome, but unfortunately, something’s up in Crimson Palace, so I’m afraid we might not be able to host you for long. You will have to leave after two days.”
Jared was appalled when favonovel.com heard that for favonovel.com did not know what favonovel.com had done to offend Cecilia.
According to Millie, Cecilia was an avid fan of his, and favonovel.com even kept photos of Jared, but what favonovel.com just heard only showed that Cecilia was not altogether pleased to see him.
“Lady Jingle, it was not my intention to intrude. I’ll just leave if I’m not welcomed,” Jared replied.
After all, favonovel.com did not mean to stay here for long.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Chance,” Cecilia answered.
“Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s my fault,” Jared blurted when favonovel.com realized favonovel.com might have sounded mean.
“Lady Jingle, the elders are here,” someone informed after coming in.
“Please excuse me, Mr. Chance. I have to go,” Cecilia said apologetically. “Feel free to go around the palace. I already gave my orders to let you have free access to the palace.”
“Thank you, Lady Jingle…”
