Chapter 605
Thankfully, the man had turned his head away to look outside the window that gave Penny the opportunity to use the kerchief by running it around her face, neck, and the sides of her head . The water had seeped into her clothes and hair, enough to give her a small headache . The windows were closed but as she was out of the rain finally, light termors of shiver started to run over her skin .
She hugged herself with her hands, not knowing that even though the man had turned his face towards the window, he had been watching her from the reflection of the window .
The kerchief in her hand turned wet with water quickly and she said, "Thank you for the kerchief and for the pick up here . The rain was pouring so much I didn't know how long it would take to go back . "
"It is a pleasure to be able to help you . I don't think we got to introduce ourselves properly last time," he said, giving his hand forward this time to say, "I am Robarte Varreran . "
"Penelope," Penny took his hand to shake . She decided not to give her last name because calling herself to be Artemis would mean she was accepting that she was part of a white witch's family . Of course, this man wouldn't be knowing about it but it was better to be safe .
His eyes fell on her hand as they shook hands, and he said, "You must have been standing out in the rain for a long time . Your hands are cold," she took her hand back where she couldn't detect the temperature .
"I thought the carriages often moved around but there weren't any today," Penny responded back to him . Dropping the kerchief on her lap, she rubbed both her hands together before stopping so that it wouldn't create too much noise or movement .
The rain didn't stop and the clouds thundered in the sky, often lightning itself up to show the clouds and their lining .
The previous time Penny had met the man, he had somewhat come to be rude with the way he called her a slave and how he had eyed her the first time . Thinking about it gave her chills and she wondered if her luck was bad that she had moved her hands for the wrong carriage to stop for her . Strangely right now he came across to be a polite, gentleman kind who was being kind enough to turn his head away from her when she was wiping her face .
That didn't mean she had lowered her guard down . She still remembered their last encounter near the tailor's shop where she had seen him with a slave who was covered in bruises .
"The carriages have stopped functioning if you are asking about the local carriages," she didn't hear about that . He said, "There was a recent murder case that took place in a local passing carriage which is why they have temporarily paused their functioning but it should be back up in two weeks . "
"I didn't know that," she whispered . She asked, "How is your slave been doing?" she was curious if the man was abusing her . It wasn't uncommon in the vampire world to mistreat slaves .
