Chapter 230
When they stepped inside the dining room, Penny could sense the heavy atmosphere that hung in here right now . The maids moved quieter than usual without making much noise or rather as if they were ghosts and didn't want to be seen .
Senior Mr . Quinn, as usual, read the newsletter which was brought home . Sipping from his teacup whilst his eyes were kept busy . Lady Fleurance continued to butter her toast . Not looking up at Penny . Lady Maggie and Lady Grace were in the same position . And even though their eyes were positioned doing something or the other, she could tell that the weight of her feet on the ground was being heard by them .
With Damien who for once walked behind her, she continued to walk where he often sat . Ready to take a seat on the ground when he caught her arm to stop her from sitting down on the hard cold marble floor .
"Sit next to me," he said, pulling the chair for her . Penny didn't know how to react as suddenly she felt all the four pairs of eyes that had been busy now looking at her . Being unaware of what had transpired last night while she was fast asleep in Damien's room, she wondered if he was letting her sit right at the table because she had hurt her back .
With her heart that was beating slowly, she walked around the chair where Damien had pulled out for her . Damien soon sat next to her, "What would you like to eat?" at this question, Lady Fleurance stood up from her seat with a glare that was sent to Penny .
"Grace and I shall not sit at the table from now," she looked at the new butler who was newly assigned only this morning who looked startled . He was a half-vampire who was sent by the magistrate for temporary purpose until they would find a permanent one for their mansion, "We won't eat at the same table as that girl . You can bring our food to Grace's room . We will have our meals there," she ordered the butler who immediately bowed .
"What a shame," murmured Damien under his breath which was nowhere meant to be subtle .
Suddenly a plate fell on the ground, breaking it to many little pieces .
The butler looked with his widened eyes at the ground . The white broken pieces that were scattered into bits and pieces . He was half-vampire who had been converted from a human to a vampire two months ago . Still adjusting with the new life which was given by a man who was in a higher status than him, he had registered himself to work and earn money for himself after hearing about the big money that was handed down by the elite families of the society .
With a seventy percent efficiency in his work and a hundred percent lack of how the higher pureblooded family were, he stood still like one of the statutes that were kept outside in the garden for decoration purposes .
