Chapter 31 Go To The Capital

  As Elaine stood at the door, a gentle tap interrupted her thoughts. She opened it to find Duke standing with a smile that lit up his face.

  "Are you ready, Miss Morgan? We're almost set to depart," he said.

  Just then, Cheryl popped her head out from behind Elaine, her eyes glinting mischievously. "Not going to ask me how I'm doing?" she teased Duke.

  He chuckled. "I'm sure you're raring to go, Cheryl. You've been buzzing with excitement ever since I told you about our trip to the capital. You've always been a city girl at heart, so I figured you would have packed in advance." he said, still grinning.

  "We're all set to leave," Elaine chimed in. "Just that we seem to have overpacked a tad."

  Duke signaled for two servants to come and assist with the bags. "Alright then, let's load these up and be on our way. Cheryl, you'll ride with me in the car. Miss Morgan, Sherman has requested your company in his car."
