The Bait

"Good morning guys." Chris walked and sat on the dining table which was already plattered with tantalizing, sizzling hot food that was cooked professionally by Janet. 

"She didn't come, huh?" Chris sighed looking at the table which was currently occupied by Arthur, Agatha, Janet, Alex, Max, and Cassie.

And at the mention of 'She', naturally, everyone figured out who Chris was talking about. Who could it be except the lady of the house, Catherine?

"Sis said she isn't feeling well. Aunt Agatha sent Sia to deliver the food and give sis company though." Cassie chimed in.

"I see, that is nice." Chris smiled at Agatha and then turned back to Cassie, "That's all fine and dandy, however, how the hell are you still here? Don't you have school? Skipping classes again?" Chris narrowed his eyes.

"B-Brother! How can you look at me like that! You know I am so diligent in my studies!" Cassie retorted with a cute pout.
