"I think I asked you something." The mistress continued.
Ashton slowly turned around to see her sitting there while Disha stood behind her like a guard. sitting next to the mistress, there was a fairly large box. Ashton momentarily wondered what could be inside the box.
But right now, that wasn't important. He needed to think of a way to get out of the situation he was in. If not, well, then he was screwed pretty bad.
'Why the heck is she even concerned about me?' Ashton thought.
He had been hoping his absence would not get noticed because of how her mood had been before. But it appeared that she had already gotten over whatever the problem she was facing back then. As a result, now her focus was entirely on him and his absence.
"I... went out for a walk."Ashton hastily replied with whatever came to his mind first.
