There was a magic in being in an enclosed space because of how it could easily create intimacy.
At the patio, there would be servants and bodyguards walking around, derailing the moment from the kind of magic Tess wanted to create.
If Alex wanted to talk about marriage like his sister wanted, then why choose the patio instead of directly coming to see her in the room she was housed?
"Why the patio? It's more comfortable to talk here," she pointed out, but the caregiver shrugged.
"No one questions sir." She was here to do a job, and that included taking instructions from her boss.
This caregiver could not be manipulated, for which reason she did not dare to bribe her.
Forcing a smile to calm her anxiety, Tess headed to the patio, seeing the elegant man seated, sipping vodka and puffing a cigar.
It was strange to see Alex like this, and as a woman, it could only mean something big laid on Alex's heart.
