She was a typical example of soone who, if you gave them an inch, would take a mile. Fearless and audacious, she was the type who would climb any pole offered to her. A little suppression might make her restrain herself sowhat; otherwise, it would only embolden her.
Identity? She had almost forgotten what identity he had given her.
"Isn’t it just a slave? I haven’t forgotten. Young Master Shannon, how could I dare forget your words?" Sophie forcefully pried his hand from her waist and got off the bed.
Once in the restroom, the sight of her scabbed face in the mirror deeply stung her eyes.
Both hands resting on the washstand, Sophie squeezed her eyes shut and admonished herself inwardly, Sophie Sullivan, oh Sophie Sullivan, why must you clash with Thomas Shannon? There’s absolutely nothing to gain from it. Don’t forget, you still need his help to get this face healed. Besides, your face isn’t healed yet; falling out with him now isn’t a wise move.
After washing up, Sophie cald herself in the restroom for a while before leaving.
The guest room was empty; Thomas Shannon was already gone.
She opened the guest room door. In the corridor, an emotionless man in black looked at her. "Maniac, it’s ti for you to leave."
Sophie gripped the doorknob tightly. "Where is Thomas Shannon?"
"The Young Master had to leave early for so business."
Left early? Sophie didn’t believe such a la excuse.
"Wait for a mont."
Sophie returned to the guest room and took a pen and paper from the drawer. She left a few lines for Fluffy Zane, telling her not to worry and that she was leaving first.
She placed the note on the tea table, weighed it down with the pen, then got up and left.
「The Manor.」
Minimus Hart suddenly received a telephone call. An expression of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. "Yes, Young Master... Yes, I’ll have her get ready imdiately. Rest assured."
After hanging up the phone, the corners of Minimus Hart’s mouth curved into a smile. "Go and bring Raina Bell to ."
"Yes, Sister Minnie."
The maid hurried to summon Raina Bell into the castle. As Raina Bell stepped inside the castle, her heart was filled with apprehension. She was terrified of being seen by Sophie Sullivan, who might then find so pretext to make things difficult for her.
"Stop cowering! What kind of appearance is that? Straighten your back! Head up, chest out! Have you forgotten all the etiquette you were taught?"
Having been rebuked, Raina Bell imdiately did as Minimus Hart said and corrected her posture.
Head up, chest out, her deanor was now much more dignified.
She stopped two steps away from Minimus Hart. "Sister Minnie, were you looking for ?"
Minimus Hart’s earlier seriousness vanished, replaced by a smile. She patted Raina Bell’s shoulder and leaned closer. "A wonderful opportunity has co your way."
"What kind of wonderful opportunity?"
"The Young Master wants you to prepare yourself. You’ll be accompanying him on a business trip later."
Excitent lit up Raina Bell’s eyes, making them sparkle incredibly. She was stunned for a few seconds, seemingly unable to process it.
"The first female slave to accompany the Young Master on a business trip was the maniac. You are the second."
The second... What did that imply? It ant that perhaps she could replace the maniac. Furthermore, it signified that the maniac was about to fall out of favor.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Raina Bell quickly collected herself. Her smile was shy and a little bashful. "I’m so grateful for this wonderful opportunity, and it’s all thanks to Sister Minnie’s support. If it weren’t for Sister Minnie, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Everything I have is because of Sister Minnie. I will use all my abilities to repay Sister Minnie."
"I’m very pleased that you have this awareness of repaying kindness." Minimus Hart’s hand, holding Raina Bell’s shoulder, tightened its grip. "Now isn’t the ti for this. Hurry and change your clothes; make sure you dress up nicely."
