“No! The maid Shelly, who has been taking care of me these past few days, and even the chef, whom I haven’t met, have treated me very kindly.”
“Why bring it up all of a sudden?”
“Suddenly? It’s because they’ve been treating me too kindly. I’m no longer a guest but an employee here.”
Deborah continued politely,
“If it’s alright with you, could I meet the housekeeper? I’d like to greet them and discuss my schedule. I should also change rooms.”
In essence, Deborah was saying she intended to live like the other staff. Although her work was different, she wanted to sleep in the same quarters, eat in the same dining room, and mingle with them.
Understanding her words perfectly, Jen responded indifferently,
“So? You brought up that request just to say ‘even if you think it’s presumptuous etcetera etcetera’?”
“….”
“I’m really amazed…”
Sighing deeply, Jen slightly turned his head and said,
“You didn’t hear that part from Lady Saint, I guess. Our household doesn’t have a housekeeper. The butler manages everything, but as I mentioned earlier, he’s currently away.”
Straightening his head again, he continued,
“The butler manages all the employees of the Baker family, but you’re an exception.”
“What?”
“Why?”
“Superiors and subordinates can’t be close. The closer they get, the more uncomfortable it becomes. So, if you really want to help them, it’s better to stay as you are now. And keep using the same room.”
Deborah was dumbfounded.
“I’m not their superior. Even house tutors in noble families live with the staff. Even if they have private rooms, they don’t use rooms as luxurious as the one I’m currently in…”
“Maybe other families do that. But here, I make the rules.”
Jen said, lifting his chin.
‘He leaves me speechless.’
Deborah, left with nothing more to say, stood silently with a faint smile.
Catching a hint of embarrassment in her smile, Jen asked,
“Does it make you uncomfortable?”
“Yes.”
Deborah’s straightforward response prompted a slight laugh from Jen. It was an ordinary smile, free from any arrogance.
‘Incredible. He can actually smile like that.’
Deborah marveled at his striking looks once more, though discreetly.
“It’s odd, isn’t it? Anyone else would pray every night to keep receiving such treatment.”
“Accepting more than I deserve brings me no benefit.”
“Excessive? Why would this be excessive for you?”
“I am but a commoner, a widow from a maid’s background.”
Anyone passing by would be astonished to hear that Deborah thought she was receiving more than her due.
Yet her employer, the master of the house, seemed dissatisfied with her response.
“Nonsense. Whether something is excessive or not isn’t determined by such trivialities.”
Jen retorted, his eyes darkening.
‘Well, I’m not so sure about that.’
Deborah silently disagreed. Equality is right, but the current era was hardly ripe for such proclamations.
‘Especially coming from someone who mocked my status this morning.’
With a calm smile, Deborah said,
“Can’t you understand my situation? I genuinely want to get along with everyone.”
“Don’t worry. Everyone will treat you well.”
To Deborah, Jen’s words sounded more like a command than a reassurance.
‘Maybe it’s just me.’
Just as she hoped she had misinterpreted his tone, Jen added chillingly,
“If it really bothers you that much, I suppose I have no choice. I’ll have to fire the maid assigned to you.”
