Chapter Fourteen

Sipping my orange juice, I swing myself around on the stool. I’m seated at the breakfast bar in my father’s kitchen, gossiping with Sally as she fixes us both a fruit bowl. I’ve informed her all about my little run in with the Royals, how I’ve told Blaire and Maisie about my father, which Sally warns me to make sure my Father doesn’t find out.

Thankfully, he’s not home this weekend and is away on a business trip, so I don’t have to see him or hear about how disappointed he is in me. Sally joins me at the breakfast bar, sitting in the stool next to me, which is completely not allowed but it’s just us two and Mrs. Blossom in the house so we think we can get away with it. My father warned the staff not to get close to me, stating that because they are staff, we shouldn’t form any friendships. It’s frowned upon.

Well, fuck him. I’ll befriend who the hell I want.

Ms. Veronica and I have a lesson in an hour, and today she is bringing a whole new wardrobe for me as I should also dress as a lady.

“I swear to god, if she tries to put me in one of those matching skirt suits, I’ll scream,” I huff, furrowing my brows as Sally keeps laughing at me.

“Oh darling, you will look spiffing in one of those matching suits,” Sally jokes, putting on a posh accent and I can’t but help laugh along with her. Sally likes to joke about how prim and proper I’m becoming – well, being forced to become – and how I wouldn’t survive a normal life around here anymore.

Sally is as London as they come. She even has a bit of a cockney accent which is refreshing to hear, considering I’m around people who hardly move their upper lip when they speak. Sally seems to think that my slight South African accent sounds American or even better, Australian, and always forgets where I’m from.

We like to speak to each other in different accents sometimes, taking the piss out of each other for some banter. I mean, in this house it’s needed. It’s always so serious and Mrs. Blossom is always warning me to make sure I don’t miss behave when my father is around otherwise there could be consequences. I’m unsure as to what kind of consequences she’s talking about, but I take her warnings very seriously.

I clear the bowl of fruit that Sally prepared for me. It seems like the only time I really eat is around her. She doesn’t give me a lot of choice, always making me my favourite foods and sticking them in front of me. She really is an amazing cook and makes spag bowl that tastes like heaven.

“Miss Adelaide,” Mrs. Blossom calls through to the kitchen. I look at Sally, pouting my lips, knowing exactly what she’s here to tell me. Sally hides her laugh behind her hands, trying not to get in trouble.
