Bab 85: I Expect Nothing Less

The next morning, Rain woke up early, still feeling uneasy after the bad news Brandon had shared with her the night before. The sun had yet to rise, so she headed straight to the kitchen, hoping to distract herself. The staff was already busy preparing breakfast, and just as she was about to walk in and greet them, she paused, overhearing their conversation.

"Sir Alexander's wife is very beautiful. I prefer her looks over Miss Carla's. But… Miss Carla is very kind, and her family is powerful. She's the president's granddaughter and a close family friend of Senior Lancaster. I still believe Miss Carla is the perfect match for Sir Alexander," one of the women remarked.

Rain leaned back against the wall, sighing softly. She positioned herself where no one inside the kitchen could see her, but if any servant were to walk out, they would notice her.
