This young miss would be a formidable ally. One to keep happy should she ever were to mention him, he would be mentioned in an excellent light to whoever is watching over her, Mr. Spencer thought.
But what was troubling to him was that from what his man said, it was like she did not even know, as she ran away like a scared kitten.
The worst thing you can do is take the chance and toy with someone who does not even know they are being protected.
Because it did not matter what he did, she could not even defend him to her protector should he deem that Mr. Spencer fell out of line.
A shiver ran down his spine as he thanked his lucky stars for this vital news in the nick of time.
The Lord knows they all would have been like Alister in the blink of an eye for moving on this woman.
Nevertheless, with the sudden turn of events and an even more hurried shift in Mr. Spencer's decision, he was ready to truly listen to Ms. Thompson, so he urged her to continue.
