I panicked as I was certain I had been caught. He must have seen the book so I wanted to turn around and apologize for taking the book out of the library without any consent...
“I think you dropped this," the Butler said and before I could speak and when I finally turned around I saw he was holding onto an earring.
Huh? I was a bit lost.
“Is this yours?" He had to ask to get me to focus.
I quickly touched my ears and saw that my left ear was missing a ring.
“Oh thanks. It must have fallen off my ear when I got up." I said and quickly collected it from his hands.
“It's alright," he said with a collected demeanor.
“I will be leaving now. Thanks," I said with a forced smile before scampering away from the library so that he wouldn't notice I was hiding the book.
