qInside the Lincoln limousine behind the Rolls-Royce, Francesca sneezed twice. She rubbed her nose a little and frowned. “Is someone cursing me?”

“Are you okay?” asked William in a concerned tone.

“Oh, I'm fine,” replied Francesca. “By the way, why did you ask me over?”

“I want to spend some time with you,” answered William. His gaze was warm when he added, “Francesca, I will go to Zarain with you once Danrique is cured.”

“Oh, it won't help, even if you follow me along,” replied Francesca without thinking much about anything. “It'll take a comprehensive medical plan to treat your leg, and there is nothing I can do to cure it soon.”

“I know,” said William while nodding. “Thing is, I'm not following you to Zarain for my own sake. I am doing it because I worry about the injury in your head. What if something were to happen during your travel? Or if...”

“Oh, there's no need for that,” interrupted Francesca right away. “I enjoy being alone and will find it irritating if anyone were to tag along.”

She had always been straightforward and had never worried about being polite.

“Still, I worry. Remember what happened the last time when you took a cruise home? You got into some trouble on the way,” reminded William. His eyes shone with worry when he looked at her. “I am the one who hired you, so I am responsible for your safety. Besides...”
