A Graduation Gift

Amanda took a step toward him and pushed his finger away. She then turned to the steward, who stood as dumbfounded as the rest of them.

"Who is this? I thought you said the cottage hadn't started serving yet.

Who is this guy then?" Amanda questioned, again.

Her expression was a mix of disgust and fury. She couldn't help but raise her voice at the steward.

"He… he is my master's son..."

the steward stuttered answering. He could barely bring himself to speak in such an embarrassing situation. Honestly, he was at a complete loss as well.

"Hey, you. What is this? Who are these two women?"

The man yelled even louder than Amanda, just as arrogant and rude as before.

"Sir… Sir, she is the daughter of master's friends," the steward replied, pointing at Amanda. "Last night, her friend, this young lady, slept in this room."

The steward was so terrified that he was trembling.

Dead silence followed his answer. Ivy was stupefied, having found who the man was.

He thought I was a prostitute?

Oh my goodness How did I get involved in this complicated matter?' Ivy thought, her heart still beating fast.
