Lorenzo's POV
I can't believe I'm doing this, one of the many things Mother makes me do. If it were someone else that did this, they'd be regretting their life choices.
But Genevieve was right, though, about the soothing effects of camomile tea; it's quite calming. Mother had one of the maids send me a cup of piping hot camomile tea instead of coffee earlier this morning.
I had rejected it at first, ordering the maid to take it back, but Mother came down and made me drink it until the very last drop. It was surprisingly good, so I asked for another cup much later in the afternoon.
Coffee's on a time-out for now.
I was in the study working when I heard raised voices heading to the door of the study.
That voice belongs to nobody else except Viviana.
"Don't you touch me, you weasel! Lorenzo!" Viviana opened the door with one of the maids hot on her heels.
I knew it.
"Ma'am, don't go in there."
