Everard immediately sprung out of the water and gasped for air as though someone was holding him down in the water and was choking him.
“What are you doing here?” he asked breathlessly when he saw Lorenzo standing right next to him. Furthermore, he jerked his hand right away from Lorenzo’s wrist when he realized that he was grabbing that man.
Lorenzo bowed his head as low as he could and then replied, “I was just trying to help you get out of the water, Your Highness.”
"Help me?" Everard stepped out of the tub and then grabbed the bathrobe to wrap himself with. While slipping inside the bathrobe, he recalled some pieces and fragments of his conversation with Lorenzo.
He cleared his throat and then asked while looking over his shoulder, “Did we have a meeting?”
Lorenzo’s heart skipped a beat because Everard sounded different than earlier, almost as if he was suddenly a different person. To be more precise, he almost sounded menacing.
