Chapter 267 – Sarcasm
"The juice is here, my lady!" Evan finally took a breath of relief when the strange atmosphere was broken and everyone turned to take the drinks offered to them.
A girl with dark hair and dark eyes with a fair and gentle face stood in front of her while the rest of them were served by maids.
"Thank you" \'you should not have done this personally\' struck in her mouth as she was not sure if it would be taken as a compliment of sarcasm.
Taking big gulps of it she tried to finish it faster so that she could leave these strange bunch of people that her way was not ladylike at all.
Once she put the glass down on the table, and wiped her face, a girl could not stand it anymore and commented,
"Even if the duck lives with swans, she would only quack quack when she would open her mouth. If only they could learn more and be presentable!"
"You can not expect the blood to change with time! Do you?"
It did not need to be said that they were talking about her, yet Even did not react as she did not want to create an issue. It was her glass of juice so she should be the one to decide how to drink that!
"do not mind them, they are just joking. It is our mistake that it took us so long to serve you a glass of juice. You must have been thirsty since ages to drink the juice like that!" The girl sitting beside Evan tried her best to flatter Evan.
She did not want Leo to complain to them later, or lord Thawyne would come and scold them. After all he was the head of the ministry and all of them only worked under him.
"Oh! It is fine! I just wanted to save time and go to work. After all, this is an office area not a social gathering where we would follow the table etiquettes and spend more than half an hour only finishing a glass of juice.
I did not know about all of you but I was brought here to work! So, I will see all of you later!" though the smile on the face of Evan did not falter.
She could not accept their bullshit further! She developed a strong allergy to the rich and nobles due to them.
Why were they so judgemental and sarcastic all the time!
As the words left her mouth the whole area turned still. She was passing sarcasm that she was here to work while most of them were only there for gossip as if they had come for the party!
Evan could see the change in their behavior but since no one had said anything to her, she did not want to drag the matter.
"If there is nothing else, I think I should leave!" she added and the girl beside her nodded with an ugly smile on her face.
She stood up ready to leave when many exchanged glances and left a way for her to leave. Even they were afraid that if she stayed, they would tell her that she did not even belong here then what made her think that she could be so arrogant!
Elisa smirked as she looked at them. She knew that Evan was not presentable at all. She could only insult all of them whenever she opened her mouth therefore would never be able to get the support of the nobles.
The thought only strengthened her will to teach Evan a lesson. She looked at the glass of oil in her hands that looked just like water that was served to many just now and a vicious smile formed on her lips.
"Since you enjoy traveling so much in the arms of a man. I would make sure that you would spend the rest of your life doing only that!" she whispered as she bent down, acting like she was adjusting the straps of her heels while flung the oil on to the path left for her to leave.
Once the oil had covered the whole path and others were already a bit away from there, her heart beat increased in anticipation. But at the same time, she took a few steps away from there.
She did not want to be included even in the bystanders. But to stay away from it to avoid her name in the whole incident.
"Shall i escort you to the room, my lady?" asked the girl who had brought her here, but leo shook her head with a courteous smile,
"That would not be needed. You all must be busy with work. How can i disturb you for such menial work!" though she was saying the word out of consideration.
Many felt that she was passing a sarcastic comment on them since women were not given important posts in the ministry, most of them were here as vases that only entertain the guests or maintain the social events and meetings from the foreign convoys. So, most of them were free and had nothing to do. And they were sure Evan was like them only.
she bowed her head a bit to bit goodbye to everyone and many of them did the same.
Maintaining the smile on her face. She turned to the small path they had left for her to leave speedily.
Evan\'s eyes were still on their faces that were filled with fake smiles and flattery but she could see the disgust and fury in their eyes. She just thought to leave as fast as possible from there so that she did not pay much attention to the floor.
And before she could think and control her body, her feet had already stepped into the slippery oil and had lost her balance.
"Damn!" she closed her eyes when she felt that her foot had been slid over something slippery, and she was about to fall.
"Aaahhhhh"
