Chapter 567: Uh-oh

An hour later...

"What's this for?" Mark stopped one of the workers in the lobby of the residence. The servant looked up at him and said, "It's the snacks for the young madam." "For her?" Mark glanced down at the tray, furrowing his brows as he saw it was left untouched. "She didn't eat it? Was she busy?"

"No, sir." The servant furrowed her brows. "The young madam seemed to have forgotten to have lunch; she left it like that."

"What does that mean?"

"She wasn't in the study when I served tea, as the master instructed."

Deep lines appeared between his brows as he gazed at the servant. Zoren hadn't contacted him, but that wasn't surprising at all, since Zoren would only reach out if he needed him. It also wasn't surprising that he had left instructions for the caretakers to look after Penny.

"Okay. You may go." Mark offered the servant a brief smile, watching her lower her head a bit and walk away. But before she could go far, he spoke again. "Did you tell her when you gave her the snack that it was from the master?"

The servant slowly looked back at him, confused. "The young madam wasn't there when I served this snack, sir."

"And she wasn't there when you served her the tea?"

"Yes. She wasn't in there."

'That's weird.' Mark briefly showed a look of confusion before hiding it with a short smile. "I see. She's probably resting in her room. Go now."
