In Ambrosian Style

Chapter - 4

Captain Carter POV

As I left Mr.Ambrose's cabin after  having my talk with him and might I add 'private talk'. I couldn't help passing a quick glance at his secretary.

He look very familiar to me as if I have seen him somewhere else. Especially those eyes which reminded me someone and his jaw line didn't look manly at all, they were like that of a lady. But that's not possible or is it?

But some men do have their facial features like this.

But then why do I get the feeling that I know him and now that when think about him more I find him looking like Miss Lilly maybe he is her relative but then I don't remember Miss Lilly having a relative working for Mr.Ambrose at least she didn't mention it to me. So why do I feel like he is related to her in some way.

Maybe because you are being delusional or maybe because of last night incident you keep thinking about her and hence now you are hallucinating and your mind is playing tricks on you.I answered myself.

So after giving a final nod  to Mr.. I didn't even knew the man's name and here I was suspecting him to be related to Miss Lilly.

I left the Mr. Ambrose's office.

In my way back I started recalling what happened yesterday night in the ball.

Flashback

We have been searching for Miss Lily's sister Miss Ella for quite sometime but still couldn't find her. And now even Miss Lily is slso missing.

I'm not getting a good feeling about this I feel like they both are in some kind of danger.

After spending some time with Miss Ella I have developed a brotherly love towards her even though I have never talked much to her but still during the time when I was helping Miss Lily in getting rid of my dear friend and Miss Ella's suitor I grew protective over her. Also as I don't have a sister but always wanted one since I was a child I grew more protective of her. Even Miss Lilly have also became a very good friend if mine.

I know in today's society especially here in this city people don't approve any friendship between two opposite genders they think its wrong. But if you ask me its their thinking which is wrong Miss Lilly is really a wonderful woman to talk to unlike other women who cling to me because of my status in the society and position in army or for money.I have always been away in the army fighting battles for the country and when I'm back in the city I have never felt relaxed because there is no one whom I can talk, no one in my family has time for  talk. My father had died serving the country where as mother and sister are busy in finding a brother in law for me. All though I do have some aquintance but they are same people who are with me in the army and there is nothing much I can share with them and the women here just wants to marry me but I do not want that I have always felt a need of a true friend and I think Miss Lily can be that friend for me.

I was busy in my thoughts when I heard a voice from the corner of the room it sounded like Lord Dalgliesh and he was threatning some one. Well this is not a new thing he is always like this threatning people doing all sorts of wrong with everybody. He has always been a dark person who protrays to be good one infront of society and this personality of him bothers me.

I don't know who is his next target. But poor fella what has he done to come under his survillance.

To know this I moved in the direction of the voice and hid behind the pillar.

'Glad we are on the same page so here is what I need you to do but before that let's move to a private place'.
