In her shifting gaze Alexandra did notice his smirk and she couldn’t help but blush lightly. That act had to been for Nadia, she hadn’t even thought about behaving such a way in front of the chef.... hopefully the man wouldn’t tell her father.

After addressing the man, she looked back at her tutor and almost laughed. The woman needed to relax. It wasn’t like she was talking to a low ranking maid. She was talking to the chef, the one responsible for their food. Honestly seemed like a good idea to be on good terms with such a person. Alex didn’t want to be poisoned.

Although at Nadia’s snapping reply, Alex couldn’t help but bite her lip. She didn’t need her partner in crime to lose it and go running to her father.

“I was thinking we could head to town tomorrow, maybe find Eleanor a book to help with her German study. I hear she is still struggling” she said towards her tutor with eyes staying on her and a gentle smile, hoping it would calm the woman back down.
