His eyes darkened incomprehensibly.
"Should I not say no?"
"...No way."
He laughed at my answer as usual.
"I was just curious why you refused."
"Because it's a job I used to do. I turned it down because I'm used to what I was doing before, which is serving meals."
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
I didn't know why I had to talk about this part as if I was explaining it.
Richard didn't ask anything further, as if he already knew my answer, but it somehow felt a bit unclear, so I stood from a distance and stared at him.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Because you're handsome."
In response to my soulless response, Richard opened his eyes wide.
"I hope I can please your eyes, Maid."
Where does he learn such sly words?
With that face, his eyes bent beautifully, and it was fascinating to the point it made the viewer dizzy.
I turned my head away from him and pushed out his meal.
I mean, it's a harmful face however I see it.
"Why don't you look at me now?"
"I don't want to see you."
Richard burst into laughter at my answer.
Indeed, the obsessive male lead in this novel was an unpredictable person.
*****
Emily was worried about Rosie.
Rosie had changed recently.
Rosie, whom Emily knew, was somewhat helpless-
Emily knew Rosie even before entering this mansion, because she had been with her for a long time.
It was she who helped Rosie get a job here in the first place.
'I fed and raised her.'
Emily knew Rosie that well.
Rosie's change was strange, but she didn't hate the lively appearance on her face.
No, it was rather good.
Because Rosie was precious to Emily.
'More than that-'
Emily recalled Marie being dragged away.
It was going to be a little bit dangerous.
Emily saw how Marie looked at Rosie.
It was eyes full of malice.
With quite a few experiences, Emily knew what people with those eyes did.
'It must be quite dangerous.'
They were eyes that were likely to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, Emily's expectations were right.
Marie grabbed all the fruit she had hidden, hid it in her pocket so that she wouldn't be found out, and left the room.
*****
This was ridiculous.
Marie was imprisoned in her room and was told to self-reflect.
