Emelle looked back at him with confused eyes. "Do what?"

Willum squinted and glared at the seemingly clueless look on her face. He let her go after a fer seconds and snapped, "Walk properly"

"It's your fault for taking the wrong path. You have no right to get mad. Didn't you bring your clients here for a meal before?

As William was a picky eater, there were only a few restaurants that he deemed decent. Fier's Comer was one of the few, so he often frequented the restaurant Yet, he had still managed to mess up the directions.
