"Life is full of surprises, don't you agree? There, it's done," the butler looked at his handiwork satisfied.
"It's very pretty. Thank you, Stanley," she turned around her seat to thank him heartily.
"You are welcome, milady. Would you like me to fetch anything else? You have a good twenty-five minutes before you depart," the butler inquired.
"No, I think that's all. By the way, Stanley," Heidi paused when she got up from the seat.
"Yes, Ms?" the butler waited for her but she shook her head.
"No, nothing. Thank you for assisting me," she thanked him again, both of them exchanging bows before the butler left the room. She wanted to ask where the lord was but not wanting it to be too suspicious she had decided not to ask, though she suspected if the butler already knew what was going on.
