Breakfast successfully came to an end without Edgar doing anything to get entertainment out of making Alessandra nervous.
Rose suggested that Edgar and Alessandra stay a bit longer for Alessandra to become acquainted with the home as she will be here many times in the future for parties and special occasions.
While everyone walked ahead to go their separate ways, Alessandra purposely walked slowly with Edgar to give him a warning before he could try doing anything else.
"I swear I am going to bite you if you don't stop," Alessandra gave him a warning.
"Really? Do it here," Edgar showed the perfect spot on his chest.
Alessandra narrowed her eyes not knowing what to make of Edgar's response. "Have you no shame?" She asked in the end.
"None."
"Right. I forgot who I was speaking to. There is absolutely no way your grandmother did not think we were fooling around under the table," said Alessandra.
