A servant called Zoe Rhodes down for dinner. As she passed through the side hall, she didn't see the young man from earlier.
The butler placed a bowl of ginseng soup in front of her. "Please, enjoy your meal, Miss Rhodes."
Zoe Rhodes glanced down at the soup and frowned. Ever since she'd moved in, the kitchen staff had prepared a different kind of nourishing soup for her every day. She was about to start throwing it up.
"Where's the person from just now?" she asked, discreetly pushing the bowl away.
"The young master has already gone back."
She then asked, "Hasn't Nathan Bennett returned yet?"
"Mr. Bennett personally escorted the young master home, so he'll be staying at the old residence for dinner."
Zoe Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. After making sure the butler had left, she waited for a moment when the servants weren't looking and poured the soup directly into the flower vase on the table.
