Chapter Nine

I had to talk to Valerie immediately, but I certainly couldn’t get up and leave in the middle of tea unless it was an emergency. Edony would understand what I was doing if I came up with something on the spot, but I had no idea how Kelara would react. Would she find it suspicious? There was no way to tell, but with Valerie outside, I had to act soon.

I reached for my steaming teacup, took a sip, and looked pointedly toward Edony. The Duchess glanced at me out of the corner of her eye and smiled sweetly but didn’t seem to catch my drift. I cleared my throat, and all heads turned to me instantly.

“Edony?” I asked. “May I speak to you privately for a second?”

“I’m sure you could say whatever you need to in front of me,” Kelara grinned slyly. “As you’ve heard, there are no secrets between us.”

“Yes, there are,” I grunted. “I need to speak to Edony privately. The tea seemed to give me quite a few ideas for our… work, if you’d like to meet me out in the hall.”

“Oh?” the blonde aristocrat echoed. “But of course. I’d love to hear your ideas.”

Kelara’s hateful scarlet eyes followed us as we stood up from our chairs and exited the room. Edony turned to me as soon as we passed through the doorway, and her expression hardened immediately. For a passing second, she looked exactly as she did when I worked for her the first time. She’d often glared down at me with disdain and hatred, but even after her stunning confession, her harsh facial expressions still jolted me.

“What is it?” Edony whispered. “What’s the matter? You don’t have new ideas, do you?”

“No,” I shook my head. “I needed to get you away from Kelara for a moment. Valerie’s outside. I saw her through the window. I’m honestly surprised that Kelara didn’t see her, but thankfully, I don’t think she did.”

“She’s outside?” the Duchess gasped. “I thought we were meeting back at your manor after the luncheon was over?”

“That’s what I thought, too,” I uttered. “I am guessing Valerie found something she needed to show us immediately.”

“So,” Edony mouthed. “We have to get rid of Kelara.”

“Exactly,” I nodded. “And fast, before she figures out something else is going on.”

“Do you think she noticed or she’s suspicious?” the gorgeous blonde asked and glanced back toward the open door.

“Definitely,” I muttered. “I think she’s been on high alert since she stepped out of the carriage. She certainly didn’t expect me or Josephine and Daisy to be here. I think she thought this was a casual meeting where she’d lure information out of you.”

“So, you think she’s the spy?” Edony asked. “I have a feeling, but I want to hear what you think first, Charles.”

“We don’t have a lot of proof,” I sighed. “But I think she is… Going off the person we met in the black market, she matched the height and build.”

“And the bandages,” the Duchess offered. “She wore them at the masquerade.
