Chapter 92

He responded nonchalantly, his gaze drifting irritably out the window, where not a soul could be seen under the streetlight, but all the lights were on in the servant quarters.

Those quarters were tucked away in a house behind the Ivory Towers, overshadowed by grand European-style villas and easily overlooked.

“Mrs. Ramirez, this is one of the better rooms,” the butler said “Are you satisfied with it?”

“It’s pretty good, thanks for that, Butler.”

How could this be good… It’s just a tiny space… Ugh.”

Letitia couldn’t help but chuckle, “I really think it’s quite nice.”

She had been dreaming of getting away from Elgin and having the bed to herself.

Sharing a room with him meant even breathing had to be on tiptoes.

Now, how liberating it was. She could peacefully work on her drawings until midnight, sleep till dawn, and toss and turn without any

restraint

“You’re too easy to please. the butler remarked. “Ms. Ward is just…

“She’s Elgin’s woman. Better not cross swords with her on my account, or she’ll come after you.”

After the butler left, Letitia was so elated she felt like doing a happy dance.

Having Shela move into Ivory Towers was annoying as heck, but if it meant trading that for the freedom to sleep on her own, it was worth it

Suddenly her heart twinged with a slow, dull pain.

Letitia clutched at her chest and turned to freshen up.

That night was the most restful sleep Letitia had had since arriving at Ivory Towers!

She had a dreamless night, waking up at dawn!

She stretched mightily. Time to rise and shine!”

But as soon as she stepped out the door, she bumped into Shela, who stood there, arms folded, with a coy smile. “Looks like you had a good night’s sleep.”
