Early in the morning, Oswald Lewis came to 'receive the award' but never expected that Bertha Swift would escape overnight. He couldn't understand how she managed to run away when he had arranged someone to watch over her!
Oswald silently took a deep breath, looked up at Adam Piers flatteringly, and said, "Master Adam, don't worry, I'll bring her back to you in a moment."
Adam gave Oswald a cold sideways glance, "Bring her back to me in a moment?"
Oswald didn't catch the other emotions in Adam's voice and answered confidently, "Of course, the girl comes from a good family. It's her first time, so she might have gotten scared, but don't worry, she took my money. How could she make Master Adam unhappy?"
Finishing his words, Oswald smiled ingratiatingly, all the while watching Adam's reaction and inwardly cursing Bertha Swift for being ungrateful.
"First time?" Adam repeated Oswald's words.
