Chapter 54: Conflict (1)

Annalise didn't know what to make of Rafael quickly shutting the door in her face. Had she done something wrong or were they talking about her? 

"I wish I could hear what they are saying inside. Why are you so thick?" Annalise kicked the door and quickly regretted doing so for two reasons. There was now a pain in her toes and the door made a noise while it shook.

"Go go go," Annalise repeated as she ran away before anyone could open the door to see what had happened.

Annalise did not slow down until she reached the stairs in case Edwin or Mavis would find her running around and questioned her. 

Annalise was certain the duke came to talk to Rafael about something important. She could only hear bits and pieces of their conversation when she stood outside the door. They were hard to hear because of the thick door and they were talking far away from where she stood.
