Chapter 37 Her Act

• Alicia and the other maid entered the room, carrying trays with refreshments, unaware of the tension that had settled between Louis and me. They set the trays down on the table, arranging the tea and pastries with precision.
• Louis's voice broke the silence, and his words sent a chill down my spine. "Oh, I know you."
• Alicia's head snapped up in surprise, her eyes widening as she met Louis's gaze. Panic flickered in her eyes, and she quickly averted her gaze, keeping her head bowed.
