Hannah's Request

Friedrich saw the expressions of the three and immediately understood what they were thinking. Ahh .. it seemed they thought he was some guy selling his body to upper-class women, like some of the handsome men he had seen in the high-profile parties that Laura attended.

He smiled in amusement and wondered for a moment whether he should set them straight or not. He was about to say something, but suddenly, he heard Hannah and Aurora speaking German in low voices. Friedrich remembered that Moravians spoke German in their country.

He gave up his intention and pretended to look away while enjoying his wine. He wanted to know what the two girls were talking about in front of him. They didn't know he could understand German so they were not really discreet about their conversation.

"I think I'll just hire him. One night is enough," Hannah said to Aurora. "Besides, he is very handsome. Valentino will be very angry and break off the engagement."
