Jealous?
Jane McCain was deeply perplexed...
She even wondered if she saw things mistakenly last night.
Perhaps it was just an ordinary housekeeper? Perhaps it really wasn't the high-ranking Mr. King, the steward who was second only to one but above ten thousand others? Otherwise, she found it hard to imagine that the head of a family, a figure of such stature, would be so clingy.
A family head should either be cool and aloof or deeply hidden and unfathomable, but surely they shouldn't be so sticky and fumbling with a female student, right?
Something about the whole picture just wasn't adding up!
"Janie, how about you come with me?" Purple Summers asked Jane McCain, "Are you free this weekend? Zara needs to practice the zither and won't have time."
"Ah?" Jane McCain asked in surprise, "Is that okay? You're investigating a case, won't it be a problem to take me along?"
