    Summary

    “Just tell me… what makes this bloke so special that he’s able to charm someone like you?”, he grit out, his hands clenched into fists.

    “Someone like me?”, Ashtoreth repeated questioningly.

    “Someone who’s as confident and clever and classy as you. I thought you to be a woman of high standards and even better options and here you are, swooning like a schoolgirl over the gardener.”

    “His name is Brother Francis”, Ashtoreth corrected him stiffly. “And whoever said he’s not up to my allegedly high standards? Have you talked more than two words with him yet?”

    “So it’s true?”, Thaddeus asked, dread crawling up his spine. “You and the gardener…”

    “Whatever I do in my free time is, with all due respect Sir, none of your business”, she snapped at him. And with a pleased smirk she added: “Or whom.”

    OR: Thaddeus has the hots for Nanny Ashtoreth, so when he finds out she prefers Brother Francis over him, he decides to do something about it.
