~ ROWAN
I'd initially planned to give the contract to her maid later in the day, but now was as good a time as any. Besides, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the expression on her face as she read the new clause.
I tossed the spiral bound document onto the table before leaning back, my arms crossed over my chest with ease.
Nyssa locked eyes with me before glancing at the document on the table like it was a ticking time bomb. I could see the wheels turning in her eyes as she tried to decide what to do.
After a long minute of deliberating, she snatched up the contract and began sifting through the pages.
A surge of excitement filled me as I watched her.
It was stupid to feel so much excitement over something so insignificant, but in all my years of living, nothing had excited me this much. I watched her expression carefully, noting the exact moment it went from confused to aware before finally settling on anger.
