Capítulo 68: Lies- Part 2

By end of the dinner, Katie had gulped down three glasses of wine and she felt herself float. She looked at Alexander and felt a soft smile on her lips. Her cousin was okay and she was having dinner with Lord Alexander.

She felt happy. She wondered how long it had been since she had last felt like this.

Martin knocked at the door with Daisy following him so that they could clear the table. Daisy was the first to go out of the room while the old butler gave the daily reports of the mansion and the letters that had come for the day.

Alexander finished speaking to Martin and dismissed him; he then turned around to see Katie's eyes close, her head resting on the table.

"Katie?" he called out her name.
