"Mr. Covez, this is Coco Hughes." Alithe turned to the man behind the desk, "She was the one I was telling you about."
Coco stared back at the guild master, her gaze steady and unflinching as she studied his face closely, her eyes taking in every detail, his features all sharp and masculine, his angular jawline giving him a stern appearance.
Despite his serious expression though, she could see a hint of curiosity in his eyes, blending well with his scrutinizing gaze.
"Is.. Is this the only daughter of Baroness Hughes?" Mr. Covez asked, a lilt of reluctance in his voice.
"Unfortunately." Coco answered the question herself.
The guild master quirked up an eyebrow at that. "Unfortunately? Can you elaborate about that, Mrs. Hughes?"
Coco tensed up as she realized her mistake, her heart pounding in her chest.
