The Woman From Hell

I felt a little nervous looking at the high wall.

Gathering up my courage, I rang the doorbell.

I felt more and more nervous as I waited and stood by the door. It finally opened after a while.

"Miss Lane?"

"Is Shannon around? I'm looking for her."

"The Madam... is in, but..." the housekeeper hesitated with a strange expression on her face.

I was puzzled and asked what was wrong.

"The madam returned furious the other day and told us that she won't want to see you if you were to come." The housekeeper seemed a little embarrassed as he smiled at me apologetically. "I apologize, Miss Lane."

It was my fault that Shannon was disappointed. It was only natural that she would be mad at me.

I returned the smile. "It's okay, but please tell her that I'll be waiting for her at the door."

The housekeeper looked troubled but nodded. "Alright, please wait a moment."
