Faux Vows, True Desires

"If you guys won't let me join your game, then fine, I won't. But I'll set a trap for Liam that will knock his socks off. You all need to keep this hush-hush. If anyone dares to spill the beans, I'll make them cough up all their savings."

The servants laughed, "Liam is like your plaything, Ms. Tiffany. You can mess with him however you want. We won't object."

For them to interfere would be like having a screw loose.

Tiffany took off.

The servants continued their card game until they heard a familiar car sound. They quickly wrapped up their game and by the time Liam walked in, everyone had scattered.

"Ann."

Liam called out to the butler as soon as he stepped inside the house.

"Liam, why are you back at this hour?"

Acting nonchalantly, Ann emerged in front of him. He would never be able to guess that she was one of the card players just moments ago.

"I came back to grab something. Why is it so quiet here?"

With a twinkle in her eyes, Ann replied, "Everyone has finished their chores in the afternoon, so it has gone quiet. Liam, what kind of bustle are you looking for?"

"No big deal, it just felt a bit too quiet. How's Ms. Tiffany doing? Didn't she invite you guys for a card game?"

Ann chuckled inwardly. Liam was clearly concerned about Tiffany yet trying to avoid her.

"Ms. Tiffany is quite comfortable here as if it is her own home. Your parents are quite fond of her and have told her she can stay as long as she likes. Ms. Tiffany is so busy; she barely has time to play cards with us. But today, she did join us for a game and as luck favored her, she won all the bonuses you gave us."
