"He was worried that you would be bored and then fall into trouble as you look around by yourself. So he had asked me to accompany you and help you in getting acquainted with the people working here!

" Evan frowned when she heard the girl and then looked at her file with confusion. why would he want her to leave the room?

"Oh, then.. Okay!

" Evan closed all the files and placed them back into the cupboards.

"Alright! We can go now!

" Evan gave one last look to the room and once sure that everything was fine and packed well she nodded at the girl who waited for her patiently.

While walking with the girl she was still working on how she would deal with them when their first meeting was so awkward.

But when she crossed the corridor she noticed that a lot of girls were standing there.

"Lady Evangeline!

" The honorifics surprised her as she had not thought that she would get respect from them since she was only a commoner and most of them who worked there were nobles.

Thinking that it must be because leo had personally asked them to take care of her, she let the matter go

"Thank you for welcoming me so warmly here! I am honored!

" she nodded her head but did not bow as she was not sure if they were senior to it or junior to it.

"Just look at her! How brazenly she behaved even when she was just a commoner!

" Elisa, younger sister of Aurora muttered when she saw Evangeline was getting all the love and care which deserved to be her sisters! And they still did not know where Aurora was!

When the words left her mouth, the eyes of the girl beside her widened! With fear she looked around and only took a breath of relief when she noticed that others were too busy to greet Evan that they did not notice what Elise said.

Most of the girls present there had a crush on Leo since he was ranked first after the crown prince when it comes to the best man to marry.

He was higher noble, handsome, well built and the commander of the knights. Who would not want to hold his hands and spend life with him.

Many of them had looked at him from afar, though they knew that they would never end up with him as the daughter of duke Graisitaias and close relative of his aunt, Aurora was a lady fighting for his attention.

But never had they thought that he would end up with a commoner. That also a simple girl who did not even have a rich background or strong business to support her.

She was just too common! Not many could digest it and thought that he deserved much better but no one had the courage to do so.

"Elise, did you forget she is the new duchess now! You have to accept it no matter what!

" she replied with a low growl as she held the arms of the girl tightly in her hands.

"Or else you will be in trouble and even I would not be able to support you!

" warned the girl as she looked at her with narrowed eyes.

Elise looked around with fear even when they had not heard it, she did not know how Evan would treat her when she would come to know that she was the sister of Aurora!

But the thought that she was scared of a girl like Evan! Made her fume! She could not accept it. She would not accept it.

"Elise!?

"

"Okay, okay, I will keep my mouth shut. Stop complaining, you are too noisy!

" muttered Elise in a low voice and finally the girl stopped staring at her.

Though she said so Elise could not let go of the matter! She felt like her whole body was burning with anger when she saw her behaving high and mighty.

"Would you like to have juice or tea, lady Evan?

" Although the tea was already delivered to the room, they could not keep the conversation going since they had no idea what to talk about with the girl.

A wide smile formed on the face of Elisa when she heard so. Her eyes twinkled with an evil glint when the thought crossed her mind.

"Why don't I bring the drink and you serve her! She would be impressed by you and then would remember you.

That way you will not be blamed for being treated badly!

" Elisa offered and her friend looked at her with a frown.

Though she was expecting that the girl would not open her mouth and spout nonsense. But she was not expecting that she would have a change of heart and would even help her in getting into the good books of Evan.

"No! I am your friend and would stick to you! There is no way that I would try to impress Evangeline!

I just want to stay away from trouble!

" she shook her head and looked at Elisa with soft eyes.

"Thanks! You are so kind to still stick to me. But you are one of the assistants that help him in serving the meals.

I do not want to jeopardize your job for me. Wait! I will go and bring the drinks!

" and before the girl could deny it! Elisa ran away to bring the drinks. Her whole body was shaking when she reached the room and took a deep breath to control her anger. It would take some time to execute her plan but for that she needed to be alert.

She speedily picked up the glass of juice and walked out of the canteen before anyone else could bring it. Her eyes turned red with anger when she saw that others were still trying to stick to it!

"Soon! You would end up where you deserve, Evangeline.. Since everyone else had forgotten where you belong. I will send you there again to remind everyone!

"
