Never Leave Me Again ( 139 )

Javier's voice came from the bathroom. "Liana? Are you there?"

"Yes, I'm here, Young Master," Liana answered, sitting patiently in the chair he had told her to stay in.

After a moment of silence, Javier called out again, sounding a bit worried. "Liana... you're still there, right?"

"Yes, yes, Young Master," Liana replied, a little annoyed but gentle. "How many times do you need to ask?"

Inside the bathroom, Javier quickly washed his hair, moving fast as if he was in a hurry. His voice grew louder. "Liana! Are you still there?"

Liana sighed and rubbed her forehead. "I haven't moved, Young Master. I'm still right here."

There was a splash of water, then silence.

"Liana?"

Before Liana could answer, Javier yelled in panic. "Eeek, Liana!! Don't leave me again!"

"Huh?" Liana sat up, surprised by how desperate he sounded. "Young Master, I'm still outside. I didn't move from this chair!"
