So even if she is a nanny, doubting her abilities is equivalent to doubting my better judgment which is quite rude. I didn’t only call for the schools to have the best SAT scores or college acceptance rates. I called for those I believed were able to give my kids the right ideals, manners, guidance, and abilities. And I am afraid I don't see you anymore as one of them, sir.”Flora felt as if a warm coat was put on her shoulders. She looked at Claude gratefully admiring his masculine posture and blushed.
