This day was turning out to be rather fun. It was a strange feeling to be on such casual terms with someone you were supposed to be an employee for but it seemed as though he wasn’t the only one who had something other than just an employee/employer relationship in mind. He felt bad though, it was again the code of conduct for a butler to fall for his mistress or the other way around. But he wasn’t technically working today…

“Sure.” He said sounding excited about the idea of spending some time at a fair and watch some of the live entertainment they had going. They found a store that had household items and goods which made James all the more excited! The grin never left his face and his grip tightened slightly on their hand due to his thrill going to get the new cutlery. 

She grabbed a cart and he followed beside her acting like a kid in candy store and it wasn’t long before they found the section with the cutlery. While she was lost in her phone he began to examine the sets they had available. While the debate went through his mind of whether he should get the kind he wanted or the less expensive version since the Von Ryker family was paying for it, a voice appeared next to him, and it wasn’t Freya. 

“Oh.” James’ expression moved to one of surprise that a fellow classmate was present in the store. He listened to what she had to say and gave her a polite smile. Though when her hand rested on his arm he removed it as quickly as it happened before stepping a short distance away from her so that the sudden interaction wouldn’t happen again. “I appreciate your concern but I’m fine.”

[b]“Since you don’t seem busy, why don’t we go get some coffee…”[/b] The young woman pressed taking a closer to him in an attempt to close the gap between them. 

Again, James stepped back from her just as quickly as she approached him, “I’m flattered Rachel…”

[b]“It’s Rebecca,”[/b] She sounded almost insulted that he didn’t remember her name.

“Rebecca, but I’m actually out with someone who’s very special to me.” He said with a stern nod, as he grabbed the cutlery set he really wanted and nodded to his classmate. “I appreciate your concern for me and the rest of the class as well but someone very important to me needed my support today and no one goes above the importance of her. Good day I’ll see you in class.” With that he left the girl standing there to walk over to Freya.
