The Runaway Groom

Lulu had Sue settled in by the time Zachary returned in the evening, and she just needed to sign an agreement.

"This is the maid I've chosen from the agency today, Mr. Slate," Lulu said, introducing Sue to Zachary while asking his opinion officially. "I've read her profile and resume, so is there anything you like to know or requests you have?"

Unexpectedly, Vivian emerged from the study right then, rolling her eyes at Lulu where Zachary could not see. "I tried to tell her, Mr. Slate-there were so many professional maids, but she had to pick someone without experience. I couldn't stop her even though I just want the best for you and your baby-who knew she could be so stubborn?"
