She was so good to him, more than he could describe; that he could only hope that his treatment of her was somewhat close to how she great she treated him.

He placed his order of a chicken Caesar salad and an ice water before joining her at the table. “My pleasure. I’m glad you didn’t want to go home just yet.

Many things could go wrong and get back to your father if others were to find out that we had a personal relationship outside of the butler and mistress situation.” His response was soft. 

“I don’t want to cause any problems for you. So if you feel she can be trusted than sure; she is welcome to come. And maybe I’ll have Rebecca invite someone as well. Between three people  we can get a good idea of how everything lays out on the taste buds.” Slowly, his blue gaze shifted up to look at her. “I just… don’t want to cause any problems for you.”
