Being home from PSYR should be nice, relaxed and a happy time, and yet Alexandra was more stressed within the walls of her family home then if she were at school. The education hadn’t stopped, and then the added factor of her father’s never ending watching and having to deal with her step mother. Perhaps she should have asked to spend it at their London holdings, but then she wouldn’t have been able to see her younger sisters.

At least Miss Nadia Schneider wasn’t a dislikable figure in her life. Alex would rather be chaperoned by the tutor over her step mother any day. Plus it also gave her someone to help improve her language skills. Although she couldn’t help but wonder what her father would think as the two walked towards the kitchen well into the evening. It wasn’t like she had never stepped foot in this part of the house, but that didn’t mean it was appropriate, and if it wasn’t appropriate it gave her father a heart attack.

She smiled to herself with light amusement at the thought, only to be pulled back to reality at the sound of Miss Schneider talking to the new chef.

Alexandra watched with curiosity, trying her best to keep up with the conversation. Hadn’t father said he was French? Yet here he was having a conversation with her German tutor in German.

When she was finally included within the conversation, Alex was well and truely confused.

“This is the chef” she replied in the language while indicating to Armel.
