Using Lexington

"You know, we're supposed to be getting close to her," I whispered to Alexi as soon as I noticed the bitter expression on Clara's face.

He turned to where I was looking and studied the woman for a moment.

I have no idea what was running through his mind but then an idea hit me.

"I have a plan," I told Alexi as I leaned over to Lex.

"Did you see Clara Silvia earlier?" I asked my cousin. "Don't look."

"Was she the bitch that tried to tick you in that bidding war?" Lex asked as he laughed at how silly her plan was.

"Yeah, that one," I said, grinning. 

"What do you have planned, cous?" Lex asked as he turned to me and grinned. 

"You're the eldest male grandson of Luther Durfort," I told my cousin. "What would most eldest males think if their younger female cousin was named heir above them?"

He threw his head back and laughed, drawing people's attention to us.
