"Ma'am, this Ms. Flora isn't quite what the rumors suggested. She's actually quite pleasant," Mr. Davis, the butler, stood respectfully by her side.

During their journey, he'd been observing Flora too. The young woman didn't talk much and, though she seemed aloof around strangers, she was polite and carried herself with grace.

Amanda remained silent, her gaze lingering on Flora for several seconds before stepping forward and descending the staircase.

Kruz had been chatting with Flora, but at the sound of footsteps, he quickly stood up straight.

The butler couldn't help but chuckle.

Amanda was used to his antics and ignored him, walking straight to the couch and sitting down.
