Scarlett Jennings couldn't see what was happening downstairs, but she could clearly feel the momentary awkwardness and silence in the air after Samuel Chalmers spoke those words.
But it was just for a moment.
Azura Loomis almost instinctively changed her tone without a hint of hesitation, her voice remaining as usual,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chalmers, I just heard Lucas call you that. I won't do it again."
She further asked, "Mr. Chalmers, is Scarlett with you?"
Samuel Chalmers simply replied, "I asked her to help me with some matters. I'll have someone send her back later."
Upon hearing this, Azura Loomis immediately showed an appropriately curious expression and naturally continued the conversation,
"Mr. Chalmers asked Scarlett for help? Does Mr. Chalmers also believe in geomancy and mystical techniques?"
Scarlett stood at the top of the stairs, wondering if Azura was trying to lure her out with the conversation.
*If so, she couldn't just hide.*
