Everyone, including Deboran, looked at Cedric with surprised eyes. Cedric was slightly hurt, but he didn’t show it.

“Am I causing any inconvenience?”

Debora quickly assessed Dia’s complexion.

‘It doesn’t seem like she dislikes it, does it?’

Thinking that way, she asked Dia.

“Is it okay?”

Dia, who had been frozen in surprise, snapped out of it.

“Yes. Of course. I hope I’m not bothering you for nothing.”

“Thank you for caring.”

Cedric put his hand on his chest and said, “It’s an honorable thing to help a young lady. Originally, I would have to step forward even if it meant postponing other things, but fortunately, I have plenty of time.”

It was a polite and cheerful tone.

As Dia’s stiff expression relaxed, Deboran also felt relieved. However, Irene seemed a bit uncomfortable.

In terms of hierarchy, the butler or the housekeeper was not the superior of the governess.

However, there was a position to report the governess’s misdeeds to the employer.

Most likely, the employer usually trusted the butler or the housekeeper who had served the family for a long time, and using that position, the butlers or housekeepers sought help like a superior of the governess.

But Cedric never singled out Irene. He was busy, and Irene was busy too.

They were engrossed in different tasks, so they didn’t have many chances to get involved in the first place. However, the reason Irene seemed so nervous was…

‘Probably because she can’t forget her appearance during the interview.’

I don’t know why they happened to meet and greet each other, but they have to be together for the entire hour of the class.

This meticulous and picky butler would not overlook even the smallest flaw, and Irene seemed to think that he would inform an even pickier and more cantankerous employer about it.

‘But Mr. Radford won’t do such a thing.’

Although he conducted the interview rigorously, he was not the kind of person who would scrutinize the mistakes of an already hired person.

If it wasn’t a serious mistake, he was more likely to embrace the person.

‘But Mrs. Brown doesn’t know Mr. Radford well.’

Even if she was told not to be nervous, she was likely to be nervous.

‘Something like this needs to be experienced.’

There were fields that one had to experience to know.

Debora hoped that this time would be a good opportunity for Irene to feel less burdened by Mr. Radford.

However, Debora realized that her worries were useless in just a few minutes.

“I’m sorry!”

Dia apologized for stepping on Cedric’s instep.

“No, it’s okay.”

Cedric reassured Dia, and with a sidelong glance, he said to Debora and Irene.

‘What should I do?’

Dia hadn’t even crossed three steps now.

Sometimes she stepped on someone’s instep, and sometimes she almost tripped because her foot got entangled. There were times when the next move didn’t come to mind.

Irene was on the verge of becoming mentally blurred in this situation.

She hadn’t taught dancing for the first time today, of course.
He continued to adjust the posture, taught the movements, and now it was at a level where they just needed to practice real dancing to the music.

‘Why?’

Debora also wondered about Irene’s dilemma. When she stepped on her own earlier, she did well, so why was she making so many mistakes now?

After a moment of contemplation, Debora offered her opinion to Irene.

“Mrs. Brown, how about showing Miss a video of someone else dancing?”

“Oh.”

Come to think of it, Dia had never seen someone else dance.

“That’s a good idea! Visual educational materials can be a great help. So, please.”

“Yes?”

Debora, who would have been glad to hear that it helped, foolishly replied like that, and Irene grabbed Debora’s hand again, with a serious expression, and said once again.

“Please.”

“…….”

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cedric had a reason for coming here himself today.

Dia easily bowed her head to people, and she was still learning to dance, so mistakes were inevitable.

‘Is there any point in showing such a scene to another servant for no reason?’

Although everyone was busy biting into the big prey called money and couldn’t easily open their mouths, isn’t that how people are?

Cedric thought it was important to be careful not to create noise. Be an appropriate practice partner for Dia and check how the class atmosphere is.

‘That’s why I came.’

Why is it Deboran in front of Cedric now, not Dia?

‘It’s awkward.’

Yesterday, just because she smiled broadly at Debora, Paul, who worked hard and returned, had to receive not praise for the hard work but a chilly gaze.

‘If caught, I’ll be in trouble… No, I’ll have a bigger problem.’

It was reasonable because at the moment Cedric was not only in front of Debora but also holding her hand with his left hand. His left hand was touching her back.

‘Too close.’

Cedric was as tall as Jen, and Debora was short, so their faces were not as close as Jen’s.

But why does it feel like their breaths are touching? Maybe it’s because I can feel the warm body temperature.

“Please go a little slower.”

As soon as Irene’s request came down, Cedric asked Debora with a nod.
