~ODETTEI kept my fierce glare on Layla's handmaiden.She was trembling visibly by now. That fear was exactly what I was expecting from her. So next time, she would think twice before she thought of repeating this mistake.In the end, she dropped to her knees and began to pack up the papers that had fallen. When it was done, she slowly rose and presented the file to me with her head bowed. "My Lady, here is the file sent to you by Lady Layla," she whispered shakily. I refused to take the file from her. I turned to Clara and the woman understood the assignment. She yanked the file away from her. "Get lost," I muttered softly yet firmly. The maid bowed once again before rushing off like she had seen a plague. "Serves Bever right, she's always acting so arrogant," Clara said after her. I sighed heavily and looked down at the file now in Clara's hands. This was supposed to contain what I needed to run this soiree on my own. I could do this. I just needed to believe I was capable.
