It was late in the night when the driver dropped AJ outside the palace's eastern wing. Looking up at the dark windows inside, AJ sighed. It seemed his wayward fiance was staging another rebellion. Standing right outside the door, was his butler. As he gazed at his man's troubled face, AJ knew that the man was almost ready to wring his hands out of worry.
"What is it, Cooper?"
The butler hurriedly bowed his head and greeted before complaining," Lady Amelia has instructed the housekeeper not to let any servants and maids in at odd hours... She said that you and she wanted privacy..."
AJ suppressed the urge to smile at the Butler's complaint. Cooper was old school and did not understand why they would want to get rid of the servants. But AJ was pleased. The little cat wanted to get rid of the servants so that no one would guess the problems between them while he would use this opportunity to turn the tables and be more intimate with her.
