How long have you been waiting?

When Dorothy was out of the room, she stopped running and leaned on a wall and started taking deep breaths.

After she had caught her breath, she wanted to walk when she saw Mia standing at the front.

"How long have you been here, Mia?" She asked.

"For a long time" Mia replied and came closer to her.

"Why were you running?" She asked.

"No reason, I was just exercising," Dorothy replied.

"Okay then, I came to tell you that your food is ready," she said.

"Oh..that's great" Dorothy replied and went towards the kitchen.

She helped the maids dished out the food which will be taken to the dining table and also dished in another plate.

"I think that you dished the food too much" Mia said, pointing at the extra plates.

"No, that one is for me and my husband, we will not be eating in the dining room today" Dorothy replied.

"Oh..is that so?" Mia asked.

"Yeah," Dorothy replied.
