59 Murder- Part 3 (2/2)
Unfortunately, Warren had no interest in the instrument and therefore didn't know how to play either. Not wanting to disturb the head butler, she did what she could with her time. But Stanley was always at her rescue even during the boredom she was filled with. She was impressed with Stanley with how fully well equipped he was around the mansion. One eveningwhen Heidi was relearning the piano with Stanley, she tried playing the simple music he had taught her two days ago. Just as they were practicing, came the voice of the person standing at the door,
”Finally there's someone using the piano.”
”Master!” Stanley jumped from his seat is such haste to greet his lord that he ended up banging his knee to the wooden board. Heidi head snapped to look at the lord who stood at the door, one arm that rested on the wall and the other in his pocket.
”I brought some souvenirs for you and the others. Could you please unpack and take it to the underground,” Nicholas asked, his eyes fixed on Heidi who had lowered her gaze after finishing staring at him.
”Yes, master. Please excuse me,” the butler bowed his head to both of them and left the room.
”I see you are doing well in health,” She had also lost weight again, Lord Nicholas noted, not moving from where he was.
”I am. I had a good eight days of rest with the prescribed food,” she said to see him raise his brows in question.
”Prescribed?”
”Warren had been to the doctor to make sure I was better and didn't fall sick again. I think I lost some pounds too,” she laughed at the end.
”Are you sure about it? Seems to me that he wants a slim wife and he's cutting down her food,” he took his step into the room, walking towards the grand piano where she sat now.
”Of course, he didn't!” Heidi said before beginning to doubt what he said. Was it true? Warren wasn't that kind of a man. Seeing the confusion that began to cloud over her hazel eyes that looked up at him with the light of the candles falling over her face, he smiled.
”Do you know how to play the piano? Sit down, please,” he said seeing her get up. Walking around he took a seat which was occupied by Stanley few moments ago. She was always so ready to escape and the thought made him smile more.
”Not much. I am not exactly a beginner either. Would you like to hear though what I learnt from Stanley?” he gave her a quick nod whilst supporting his head with the edge of his palm.
