Chapter 367 The blood - Part 1

During the time of dinner which was set up early, Penny sat next to Damien at the table. Apart from Lord Alexander and them, there were two more people who had joined the table. Elliot Wells, who sat on the other side of the table next to Alexander whereas this side was occupied by Damien and her. The man was charming and sweet, his wavy red hair exuding a very welcoming appearance. He was the younger brother of Jerome Wells, the architect who they had met less than a week ago. Both the brothers appeared to be poles apart, one was an introvert gentleman while the younger brother was a complete extrovert.

"How do you like the food, Ms. Penelope? We got some vegetables in here if you aren't comfortable," Elliot offered the bowl of salad which had beans in it.

"Thank you," she responded back.

"There was another dish I asked them to prepare," the man started to look around when the lady who was sitting next to him advised,

"Let her eat it first," the lady's name was Sylvia who was another helper of Lord Alexander when it came to managing work in the land, "She's not some goat for you to give her vegetables," the woman turned to look at Penny and asked, "Is there anything in particular that you like? We can ask the cook to make it," she offered polite words.

"No, I am fine," Penny smiled at them and heard Lord Alexander say,

"Don't mind Elliot. We don't have humans over for meals," she nodded her head. Everyone except for her was vampires at the table now.

"We would but Alexander doesn't like to entertain the humans and even if he does it is only men and women who belong to the higher society but for his own reasons," Elliot went on to speak without pause, "The last time we had someone over was the Barton. Quite annoying I would say who even gets on Alexander's nerves," Penny couldn't help but look a little surprised that Elliot had not bothered to add the title before Alexander's name while addressing.

"It has been a while since his wedding now," Sylvia placed her voice a little low in the quiet dining room which could be heard by everyone.

The woman went to reach for the pepper when Elliot quickly took it and started to add it to his meat. His movements slowed, which annoyed the woman sitting next to him who passed a silent glare.

Lord Alexander didn't bother with the two of them, ignoring their little childish display and he asked Damien who was rather enjoying the food right now,
