—Damn.

Apparently, Richard heard the conversation the male servant had with me outside.

Did I talk too loudly?

I was distracted for a moment. It felt like I got caught talking behind his back.

But I didn't swear at him like them!

Without expressing how flustered I was, I opened my mouth bluntly.

"You are biologically human."

"...Biologically."

"If not, I'm sorry."

He burst into laughter as if my answer was funny.

"That's right. I'm biologically human."

"...Yes, so please eat now."

Richard nodded his head as if he understood the call to shut up and eat.

I took out the plate that I had washed in advance.

The food on the dog's bowl was put back on the clean plate and delivered to Richard. 

"Thank you, Maid."

His blue eyes shone softly. The jewel-like bright eyes were very pretty.

I stared blankly into his eyes, and at that moment, Richard missed the plate I had given him.

Clang!

The food spilled and the plate broke.

I stared at the floor feeling frustrated.

I definitely think I handed it over well, but something was wrong. It was like Richard dropped it on purpose—

—It couldn't be. It must be a mistake.

Did he miss it because I was staring at Richard like I was possessed?

"Maid."

"Ah, I'm sorry—"

"I'm fine."

I apologized reflexively and leaned down to pick up a broken piece of plate.

"I'm disappointed, maid."

When I heard the sarcastic voice above my head, I was surprised and raised my head.
