No wonder Tillie, despite being a servant, seemed so lofty. Loraine found it amusing. So what if Ariadna


    was a Cruz? Did that imply everyone should shower her with extra attention?


    Yet, Tillie continued to posture arrogantly, her pride evident.


    Clearly, that’s exactly what Tillie thought.


    With a stern tone, she advised, “I suggest Miss Torres relinquish any hopes. Don’t dream of bing


    Ariadna’s friend. Your identities and statuses are worlds apart, so you better…”
