Capítulo 83: The secret in the basement (1)

After writing a draft for the budget and inventory, I check that I have all the documents I need. When I finish, it's already late. However, since I've woken up late, I don't feel sleepy.

I change into my nightgown and clean the make-up from my face, while my Duke shaves. He didn't do anything for the whole afternoon, but he preferred to stare at me than to improve his image.

Since my dressing room is one of the Lady's chambers, and since he shaves in another room, we meet in the waiting room. The nanny finished guarding the bedroom and is not around anymore, so we're alone.

«Come here,» Alexander mutters. He's still wearing day clothes, while I'm literally ready for bed.

Oh, right. I promised something to my Duke. I guess he doesn't see any reason to change clothes if we're going to get rid of them regardless.
