A bit of warmth

Ginny read the board, again and again, to make sure that she was reading correctly before she turned to look at the Duke with a questioning expression on her face, though she might have slipped up and let her indignation show as well because the Duke raised his brow and answered her silent question, " Alexis can have any cake or pastry he wants at any time why would he want to eat something from the dirty roadside stall? Who knows how it is made?"

Feeling a twitch in her eyes, Ginny got a sudden urge to smack the Duke's face—- what was this? Who was he trying to show off actually huh? She knew that he was rich as heck but was there any need to flex it in front of her? She was already having a hard time trying to buy low-grade pork and this man was flexing his wealth in front of her. If not for the child who was present in the room, she might as well jump on the Duke and rip those flashy earrings of his off! Since he was so rich, he wouldn't mind her taking a few right?
