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."

"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?

"Why don't you look at me now?"

"I don't want to see you."

Emily knew Rosie that well.

Rosie's change was strange, but she didn't hate the lively appearance on her face.
