"Tsk tsk..! That excuse was too lame. Stand here and talk to me before leaving. Or else I would tell the truth to the duchess!" he snorted but his mild threat was enough to shake me to the core.

"What truth? I am not hiding anything, litt… young master!" I replied in a flattering tone but he looked at me with disdain.
