Sister? (3)
Jeanette caught onto what the Duchess was doing. It wasn't the first time she was put in the position of having to choose between two women who didn't like being in each other's presence.
'Alessandra Collins or her sister I didn't recognize at first glance,' Jeanette thought, already making her decision. She would be a fool to pick the latter.
Jeanette smiled at Kate, hoping she would quietly leave along with her friend. "I'm sorry but your sister was here first and we're already making preparations to make the shop private for her. Please come again once she has left," she pointed at the door.
