“Did you hear? Rumor has it Oliver was once betrothed to Ms. Josefina,” one servant whispered.
“Yeah, I heard. They had an engagement, but then Ms. Josefina was found by the Harrisons, and Mr. Oliver called off the engagement with the other family. Now I’ve heard that since Ms. Josefina is back with the Harrisons, Mr. Oliver’s been showering her with gifts.”
“My goodness, Ms. Josefina is so lucky! Mr. Oliver doesn’t care about status or wealth; he’s only got eyes for her!”
A group of maids huddled together, sharing the juicy gossip.
