Henry's face turned red due to embarrassment. He opened his mouth to say something—anything that could soothe the burn to his self-respect—when the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallways and everyone turned to look at the man who had walked inside the house.
Because Mia was standing by the pillar, she didn't see the face of the man as he walked past her. But she did notice that the man was rather comfortable, even though he was being glared at by a very angry Allegra and just as pissed Henry.
His body did not show any signs of anger, tension, or any other emotions. No, the man was perfectly cool and seemed to be in control. However, something about him made Mia wary of him.
"I am sorry," the man apologised as he lightly glanced around the main hall. "Did I miss something?"
"Who are you?" Henry asked.
