Chapter 15 The Plan
Following their breakfast, Old Master Avery once more guided Hera to his office. As he settled into his chair, he instructed. "Alfonse, why don’t you call her in?"
Hera cocked her head to the side. ’Is this the instructor Grandpa mentioned?’
She looked expectantly at the door until a figure glided in. A graceful yet confident girl entered the room, standing tall and composed. With a respectful bow, she acknowledged the Old Master before extending the same gesture to Hera.
"Cindy?!" Hera yelp. ’Is she going to be my instructor?’
With a smile, Cindy looked at Hera and responded. "Yes, young miss?"
Hera glanced at her grandfather, awaiting clarification, while Old Master Avery proceeded to introduce the two. "Cindy, as you may already know, Hera Avery is my granddaughter," he began, then turned to Hera. "And Hera, meet Cindy Brent, the youngest daughter of your Uncle Alfonse."
The Old Master didn’t pause for Hera’s response and continued, "From today onwards, she’ll serve as your personal assistant, much like how your Uncle Alfonse assists me."
Cindy joked, "Or you could simply refer to us as your butlers."
"No, I think ’personal assistant’ suits you better," Hera retorted with a playful pout, once she had grasped the situation.
Alfonse chuckled softly. "You’re just like your father," he remarked. "He used to say that referring to us as butlers made him sound like an entitled brat."
Hera couldn’t help but let out a giggle, it’s true though.
