Chapter 139

• The dining room Anna was brought to was a lot smaller than she expected. A table fit for two had a beautiful emerald cloth and matching plates that were already piled with food before they could even sit down. One of the servants pulled out her chair and Anna couldn’t help but feel embarrassed with how messy she looked. It was no palace, but it was still beautiful.
• Anna tried to smooth out her greasy hair and ignored the dirt on her arms as she discreetly tried to wipe as much as she could from her hands beneath the table. Mr. Hugh took the chair across from her and smiled widely as if they were old friends. She couldn’t help but wonder what his motive was behind that grin.
• “We’re set to leave after dinner to the church, I thought it would be wise for us to get there a night before your party arrives.” Mr. Hugh said as he placed a napkin across his lap. She watched his every move just as he watched her own as if it was a game between them.
