Chapter 19: Sarah is Tutor Sarah

I sigh as I read the tutors files. Many applied for the job but they are not sincere to teach me. Some are fakes while most of them are angry at me, although they don't dare to show it they can't hide it better. I still remember their gloating eyes and fake smiles. They respect me because Dad was with me but what would happen if Dad was not in there? I wonder why they're like that, that's why I'm letting Sella and Marie to investigate about it. Tutors are respectable and they also respect people so what could be the cause that makes them hate me soooo much? Tsk, they only applied because of their pay.

I hear a knock, "Miss, this is Nana," Nana said. "I bring you pastries and milk. Have a break."

"Come in." I continue reading the files.

Nana place the tray of goods on my table with a smile.

"Thank you," I reply. I place the files back in my drawer then I take a bite at the cookie. I moaned because it's so delicious.

As Nana go out she close the door leaving me in my study. I continue eating with a delightful expression. After I finish eating all the pastries I drink the milk until the glass became empty.

I close my eyes. It feels so dry. I leave my study to get some fresh air. Being trap in a room for a long time is boring so I decide to go to my garden.

After some time I go back inside my study. I take the files that I haven't read and start reading it. If I can't find a good tutor then I can only wait till Sella and Marie's investigation finish to find out why they're angry at me. Maybe I can fix it and I can have a good and sincere tutor.

Someone knock on the door.

"What is it?" I ask, flipping the pages of the files.

"Miss, the Duke called for you in his study," Nana's voice said.

"I'm going." I close the folder of the file and lay it on my table then I stand up and start walking in where dad's office is.

I knock on the door, "Dad, this is Lucy." After knocking I enter with a pout.

"What do you want Dad?" I ask him while pouting.

"I want to ask you something," Dad said. "Do you know Miss Sarah here?" He points towards a direction where Sarah is sitting peacefully.

"Oh, yes, we met yesterday. Lady Sarah, good afternoon." I greeted her with a curtsie.

"Good afternoon to you too Lady Luciana," She said ever so gracefully.

"She is now your new tutor," Dad said with a proud smile.

"Lady Sarah your a tutor?" I exclaim in shock.

"Yes I am." She smile gently.

"Then from now on I should call you tutor Sarah since you've become my tutor." I smile at her.

"How did you convince her to be your tutor?" Dad ask one of his eyebrows raise while looking at me with adoration.

"I didn't convince her dad, we just met and I didn't even know that she's a tutor," I said still kind of shock.

"Really? What a luck you have my daughter!"

"Why?" I'm confused.

"Tutor Sarah just became your tutor. You didn't even convince her! You're so lucky." Dad starts to clap his hands.

"What's so good about that?" I frown with confusion.

"She is tutor Sarah!" He exclaim.

"She is," I said in a duh tone. Isn't it obvious that tutor Sarah is tutor Sarah.

"The tutor Sarah."

"Oh, so she is the tutor Sarah. What! Tutor Sarah?" I shouts in surprise as realization hits me. She is the tutor Sarah that we are talking about! The strict tutor.

"Yes, that's me." She chuckles.

Omg, this is crazy! The tutor that I don't want to be my tutor just became my tutor!!!

"You are?" I ask again for confirmation. She nod her head with a faint smile on her lips.

"Why so you want to be my tutor?" I ask in curiosity. She's the greatest tutor so why would she come in person just to make me her student?

"You're real to yourself not like others. I like you. Other young nobles couldn't pass my test because they're trying so hard unlike you." It makes my heart warm.

"That's it? Because you like me? Why do people even like me?" I ask even though I already know the answer. "I mean, I know that I am beautiful and cute, I am also smart and kind. Oh, now I know the answer." I pretend to be hit with realization.

"You are not what the rumors says," Dad said.

"Hahaha, rumors can be deceiving. I am indeed strict but I am not bad like a devil and ugly like a witch. Those are too exaggerated!" Tutor Sarah chuckle.

Well, I guess it's not that bad if she becomes my tutor.
