Nathan: "Hey, Master! The racing assessment is done. When are you free? I can swing by and pick you up. How about tomorrow?"
Flora: "I'm busy."
Nathan: "…"
Nathan: "Alright, so when will you be free?"
Flora almost said she'd never have time, but held back, not wanting to crush the old man's spirits. After thinking it over, she replied, "The day after tomorrow." She genuinely couldn’t make it tomorrow. Adrian and his rowdy gang were determined to hit up the underground scene and were dragging her along for the ride. They insisted they had to celebrate their victory.
Nathan was as happy as a kid when Flora finally agreed. The butler watched, shaking his head with a sigh. The head of the house was really something else…
Nathan had spent his life without a wife or kids, pouring his heart into the art of perfumery. These kids from the Neville family? All adopted by him. So, even at his age, Nathan had a carefree and open mind, maybe even a bit too simple.
“Oh, right,” Nathan said after a pause, “Make sure to tell the youngsters a VIP is dropping by the day after tomorrow. They need to get ready for the visit.”
“Whoever Flora takes a shine to will become the Neville family’s heir.”
That last bit nearly knocked the butler off his feet. Whoever Flora liked would inherit the Neville family?! He knew Nathan held Flora in high esteem, but this was on another level.
“Master, isn’t this a bit rushed?” the butler asked, unable to stop himself. The issue of the Neville family heir had been on the table for ages, but now Nathan was leaving the decision to a young girl.
“Rushed?” Nathan gave him a blank stare, scoffing, “Seems like you’re the one losing your marbles.”
“Yes, yes, I’m the senile one, please enlighten me,” the butler chuckled.
Nathan, pleased, let out a snort. “I trained those kids myself. Their abilities are pretty even, so it’s time to test their character.”
