All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 16 She’s Incomprehensible
Catherine followed Mr. David into an inner chamber, where the decoration was elegant, and no one would bother them.
Catherine walked to a chair and sat down. Mr. David stood by her side, bowing and wearing a respectful look.

Catherine looked around the room before resting her eyes on David.

David did not even raise his head. He replied to Catherine with his head low, “Miss Swann, I don’t need to sit. You can order me anything you want. I haven’t received the news that you will be here today, and I didn’t go out to greet you. What’s more, you encountered such a displeasing thing here. It’s all my fault.”

Catherine beamed. She did not know that had worried David.

She pointed at the seat opposite her and said, “It’s fine. People out there had no idea about my situation. This is your place. You’re the host, and I’m your guest. Have a seat.”
