[Ririka pov]
I woke up in the morning and immediately had my maids draw me a bath while Hitomi finalized my appointment with my mother for later in the day. I took a deep breath, inhaling the steam in the air. Morning baths usually aren't something I do, but I felt a little stressed.
"Hitomi!!" I called out.
"Yes, Rirka-san..." She calmly spoke.
"Cut it out. Call me Ririka or Ririka-chan. I heard you call me Ririka-chan, so I would prefer you do that, okay?" I ask
"Yes..." She responds
"Now then I called you to discuss something. I feel as if you deserve a vacation since you work so much."
Hitomi's eyes widened. "No way..."
"Huh?" I questioned.
"I can't imagine taking time off. I feel like that isn't a good idea. You need to get stuff done, and I don't want you to have to do the work."
"Hitomi, you aren't my only maid," I mention.
"Yes, but at the same time, I feel as if you need me around, and I don't want to have to leave your side."
I nodded. "But you're overworked!"
"Ririka-chan, you have never overworked me. I always will volunteer to do work for you, even if you don't want me to!"
"No matter what I do, I can't convince you to take a break."
"Correct!" She laughs
"Okay, then will this do?" I ask
"Will what-" I cut her off, planning a quick kiss on her lips, leaving her flushed and embarrassed.
"Ririka-chan, I should be getting back to work!!" Hitomi claims
"Do whatever you want!" I chimed
She deserves all the extra privileges she gets, honestly. She is a hard worker, smart, diligent, and adorable.
"Oh, you should get out of the bath soon because it won't be good for your skin to stay in here."
"I know Hitomi," I reply.
Hitomi sighed and leaned on the wall gently. "Uni-kun has gotten fresh water," she said.
"Has he been walking?" I ask.
"He has, however, it seems that he would prefer if you were the one to walk him. I noticed he wasn't really that energetic with the girls that tried to walk him."
"I understand; I will do that."
I got out of the bath and began to dry myself off. Hitomi helped me put my bathrobe on, and as soon as it was on me, my intercom buzzed.
"Can you get that?" I ask.
"Yes..." Hitomi went over and answered, "Hello?" She said
"Ms. Ichijou is at the door," one of my maids said to me.
"My mom came here?" I question
"It seems like it, Ririka-chan..."
"Let's go then," I state.
The two of us walked into the lobby of my estate, and I saw my mom. She looked as elegant and beautiful as ever, and honestly, she looks younger every time I see her.
"Ririka!!!" My mom called out, pulling me into a tight hug.
"Mom, I'm not dressed!" I told her.
"I know..." She giggles
