Nora returned to Xander's room.
At the thought of the disgusting conditions that Trueman had put forward, she felt as if she couldn't breathe.
She hadn't expected Trueman to actually say something like that.
Someone knocked on the door at this point.
Nora turned and looked behind to see the new cook, the one that Harry had just found, walking in.
With her head lowered, the cook gave her an ingratiating smile as soon as she entered, and then said, "I'm here to clear the plates, Miss."
As it turned out, the plates from Xander's meal just now hadn't been cleared yet.
Nora nodded.
The cook had obviously been given a heads-up by Harry, so she did not dare to slight Nora. She came forward and treated Nora as though she was her mistress.
With her head lowered, she walked up to the table. After collecting the plates, she suddenly looked at Nora and asked, "Do you want dessert, Miss? I can make you some."
