Chapter 372: Dresses (2)
"There she is," Beatrice said, standing up to greet Annalise. "She is the one the dresses are for. Not me."
There was a misunderstanding as to who was the lady of the manor since everyone knew Rafael was not married so the dressmaker thought it was Beatrice getting new dresses.
Beatrice knew there would be more incidents like this in the future and thought of doing something to make Annalise’s presence known to the town. The only problem was pointing Travis right to Annalise.
Beatrice could not enjoy taking Annalise around to introduce her to the women she was close to or just spending a day in town just the two of them without any guards. To make up for the limited activities she could do with Annalise, she thought of hosting a small party in her home.
Annalise already had Giselle as one guest. The maids whom Annalise was still friends with could attend alone with the women among the knights. Just women who would enjoy the party and not bring any drama to it. The dresses came in time for Beatrice to help pick one for Annalise to wear to the party. She also had a surprise.
"Annalise, this is Griffin, the man I consider to be the best at making dresses along with his sister. She could not be here today because she just had her first baby," Beatrice said, clapping her hands out of excitement for the new life coming into the world.
"She would love to be here, but she has to be careful after all that has happened. I hope I can impress the lady to have you working with us again," Griffin said, ready to gain another customer. "I received a note about pants. Will Sir Rafael be coming to try them on?"
"Oh no," Beatrice said, sitting back down. "They are for Annalise. This will be our little secret, right Griffin?" She asked, winking at him. She didn’t need it getting out that pants were made for Annalise to wear around the manor to train with the knights or just run around in. "They are for her to wear inside the manor to be comfortable."
"Of course," Griffin answered, not needing to be told twice to keep his mouth shut. He wasn’t going to lose Beatrice as a customer and have Rafael hate him for sharing private matters. "That will work because I was worried the pants I have would not fit him."
