67 Stranger In The Crowd- Part 3

As the week pa.s.sed by Leonard was busy with the council work and in between the week, he had traveled to Woville to meet the Lord there so that they could discuss matters that concerned the humans and the vampire's conflicts there in place of the Lord of Bonelake as he had other things to take care of.

The day when Vivian was about to leave to the local market, Leonard stopped her before she went out, "Vivian," he called her.

"Is there something you would like me to fetch for you in the market?" she asked him.

"Yes," he answered, b.u.t.toning up the cuff of his white s.h.i.+rt.

"What would that be?" she asked him as the maid whom she was supposed to bow her head as she left to walk towards the carriage. With no one around them, he answered,

"You."

It took Vivian a second to sink what he just said and she couldn't stop but look down at the floor before looking up as black eyes stared at him, "Anything else than that master?" she asked hiding the blush from her face.

"No," Leonard's lips quirked up, "What time will you be back?" he asked her, even though he knew how long the shopping took place.

"In less than two hours. We just have a few items that need restocking in the storeroom for this month. It should take less time," Leonard nodded his head to it as if thinking about something which made her wonder what had got him distracted. His eyes quickly moved to hers then.

"I have been busy these few days. Let's go out once you come back from the market," he said suddenly taking her by surprise, "Okay?" he asked her.

"Okay," she answered her with a smile to which he nodded with approval.

"Go on then," he said smiling himself.

Turning around, Vivian walked towards the carriage schooling her features, she got into the carriage.

Reaching the local market which was as busy as the last time she had seen it, they walked to get the items which were needed. As she approached one of the shops, she caught sight of two men beating each other on the other side of the street. Not heeding attention to it, she went turned her head to speak to the shopkeeper so that she could hurry up and get back to the mansion.
