Chapter 75: Man outside the gate

Eve looked down at her pocket watch and tapped her finger on its surface. She would need to get it repaired, she thought in her mind. Noticing Noah looking at her, she offered a sheepish smile before slipping it into her pocket dress. She asked him, 

"Did your work in the morning go well? The one you visited in the morning," she added. 

"Yes, it did. It was something that was brought to my attention before dawn and I had to be there. Thank you for asking," he answered her. "How are the people for whom you are working?" there was a look of curiousness in his black eyes that Eve failed to catch. 

"They are just like how most of the high-class families in Skellington are, I think," replied Eve with a little smile. 

"I am glad that you didn't conclude that all high-class families are like that," the corner of his eyes crinkled, and Eve's eyes fell on the beauty mark below his left eye.
