Sir.Bertram continued to sway me around the dance floor, this time with a look of animosity. I had a mutual look as well and I took a deep breath saying, "Excuse me, but what did you just say? Are you talking about Charles?"
His Emerald eyes slightly glazed at me and he formed a smirk upon his lips as he leaned closer to me. "Aww did that spike something in you Lady.Victoria? Is there something more going on between you and this Charles?" He took the ends of my back and dipped me while continuing to mischievous grin, my face getting even more distraught.
I leaned to him and he cocked his head in curiosity, "You are mighty close Victoria is there a reason for this?" I cocked my head at him as well, "Yes, because I'm not backing down and I'm offended you would say something like that to my Seamstress. He works to hard for you to even suggest a thing wouldn't you be upset if I offended someone who puts those precious diamonds together on your outfit?" His eyes went wide and he brung me back up from the grip letting go of me.
I poked my finger on his chest and I continued to say, "He might be below our status but his seam-work definitely isn't, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't ever say anything like that again unless you want to-!" Sir Bertram clapped his hands together and for once he didn't give me a snarky expression. "For once Lady.Victoria I see you really speaking up and I quite enjoy that. I apologize for my rude offensive behavior toward Charles but I thank you for helping me in the long run."
My face scrunched up in confusion and Sir.Bertram leaned in one more time and said, "You have a voice and I wanted to see it for myself. This was out of my own curiosity and it honestly just draws me closer to you. I'm not after your money my lady but simply your heart." He draws back with a wink and careful leaves the dance floor satisfied maybe?
I blink my eyes in confusion and then my face lights up in anger. "I-what was the point of?! He is-he just-!" I shook my head upset and then I walked off the ballroom floor as well, running into Charles again.
When I looked up at him my face eased and I notice he was smiling, "Oh, hey Lady.Victoria I was looking for you. I wanted to thank you actually because I just got promoted for helping raising the sales!" He gave me a slight hug and walked off, "I have to make a quick call right now, but I'll see you in a few yeah?" He nodded to me walking off again and I sighed.
When was this whole fiasco going to be over?
