An Intruder

The room felt strange when she entered. The man was sitting so stiffly, if Eve didn't know better, she would have thought he was a prisoner here.

"Lord Grimoire." she nodded her head in greeting when the man curtsied. "I must say I am surprised to see you here." She smiled to lighten the mood. But her words felt like an explosion on him.

His face turned white and his gaze moved from her to Ian. as if Ian was a grim reaper who would kill him any moment. She cleared her throat and opened the papers she had.

"I wanted to meet you to discuss the potential of your new business. I heard that you have taken part in making the new changes when Damien was helping the war survivors." he nodded as he shifted in his seat.

For some reason, he looked absentminded. All his attention was on ian.

"Ian, would you please wait outside?" she frowned. Did they have a history she was not aware of?
