An escape with problems.
Katherine's POV
It's unbelievable how scorching hot it is here. We're incredibly wealthy, yet I can't even turn on the air conditioning because Margot isn't around. Seriously, do I really need to ask for permission to cool down? Ridiculous.
"We meet again, Miss Katy."
Oh God, that voice. Not again—the insufferable gardener.
"Oh, hello," I mutter, trying to distance myself. It's probably not wise to get too close to someone who ran away from his employer's house without permission.
"Wait, why are you leaving? Do I make you uncomfortable?"
"Yes, you have work to do, and I, well, I have my homework too," I say, attempting to edge away.
"Katy, wait. Look, I realize I was a bit rude and pushy earlier. I made you uncomfortable, and I'd like to make it up to you."
