There had been word amongst the ladies of nobility that there was the sudden appearance of a gentleman with jet black hair and beautiful deep blue eyes that frequented the Cookie Sect cafés that had been so popular as of late.
It was something that quietly spread amongst them, to their friends and others of the same circles as they were, and more than once, they had visited the shops themselves to see who the elusive man of the rumours was.
This brought a flow of traffic to the Cookie Sect that caused those in the Rhys City kitchen to curse out Alec as they worked until they were bone tired. They were about to collapse at the end of each day.
The cause of those rumours was a young man that sat by the window of the place, leisurely reading a book and drinking tea.
Not once did he look up from his leisure pastime, but the lack of his action just made the ladies yearn for him to look at them instead of driving them away.
