The following day passed by quickly in a flourish of preparation. Cal had ordered the house to be cleaned from top to bottom. Fresh flowers adorned every vase and had been distributed throughout the house, while the cook prepared dinner downstairs in the kitchen under his strict direction. Everything had to be perfect for tonight. There was no room for error.

The servants had been given the night off. Privacy tonight was a priority. He had promised her discretion and it could not be compromised at any costs.

“Surely sir, you’ll need at least one girl to stay behind and serve,” said the cook, as Cal entered the kitchen, her crisp white apron constraining the majority of her hefty bulk. “It’s not proper for you to do such a menial task. It’s what you pay us for. Cara would be more than happy to stay on.” She flashed a glance at the young girl who stood at her side.

“Under different circumstances I’d be inclined to agree with you. However, this is an important dinner and I want the house to myself. My client values their privacy. You do understand? There is to be no one here.”

The cook nodded. “If that’s what you wish, sir. Everything will be ready to go before I depart. All you need do is remove it from the warmer. I trust you’re familiar with the layout of the kitchen?”

“I am.”

“Very good, sir. I’ll be finished up within the hour.”
