The black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled into the Johnson family mansion and stopped at the villa's entrance.
"We're here," Evan Willow reached out to open the car door for Amanda Smith, flashing her a gentle smile, "See you later."
Amanda got out of the car and responded with a tender smile to the man inside, "See you later."
Only after the sedan had disappeared from sight did Amanda slowly withdraw her gaze and turn to enter the house.
"Miss Amanda!" Before she had even entered the main hall, she heard someone calling her from behind. Turning, she saw Jane, the old maidservant from Mrs. Johnson's maternal family, approaching her.
Jane, always taking pride in her association with Mrs. Johnson's family, had a particularly strong temper. Now, as she saw Amanda, her face bore an air of imperious arrogance, "Miss Amanda, the madam is in the garden watering the flowers. She sent me to invite you over to have a chat."
Have a chat?
