Kapitel 100: The Widow

As Amelie exited Oscar's study, she found herself in an empty hallway on the second floor of the Bennet residence. The conversation she had just had weighed heavily on her mind and she soon realized that she had forgotten which way she was supposed to go to reach Liam's bedroom. 

'Should I go back and ask Mr. Bennett to show me the way? And not a maid in sight.'

Fortunately, Amelie didn't have to ask for help as another woman's voice called for her from behind her back.

"Miss Ashford?"

Surprised, she turned around and saw a woman approximately her age, with short straight blonde hair that barely reached her shoulders in one straight line. She had narrow blue eyes, and rather pale skin, and was dressed in a designer pantsuit which indicated that she was not part of the housekeeping staff.
