JOAN’S POVAfter dinner, I went straight to my room. I was exhausted. Dinner was a rollercoaster and all I wanted to do was crawl into my bed and sleep.However, that wasn’t possible. Because all of a sudden, there was a knock on my door.I groaned “Who is it?”“It’s me” Emily’s voice came from outside “It’s Sir Derrick. He wants to see you”At the mention of Derrick’s name, a chill ran down my spine. He said we were going to have a talk after dinner. I didn’t think he was serious about it.I walked out of the room and made my way down the hallway till I got to his office. When I got there, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.“Come in” his deep voice said.I opened the door. There, I saw Derrick leaning against the table, smoking a cigar. His sleeves were rolled up, showcasing some of the tattoos on his forearm. His collar was open. His tie was loose. Smoke curled up in the air around him. The sight of him made my breath hitch.“You wanted to see me” I said.“What was that?”
