At Jane’s voice, Rosé ‘shushed’ her and brought a finger to her lips.

“I’m only telling you, Jane. So cheer up now.”

At Rosé’s words, Jane just blinked her eyes blankly.

Tears that seemed to overflow at any moment had already retracted and disappeared.

“Wh, why are you taking the butler?”

“Hmm. That’s still a secret. I’ll tell you when it’s more concrete.”

If the old Rosé had said this, she might have been met with skeptical eyes.

Rosé, who couldn’t even take care of herself, was going to take responsibility for the butler? It seemed almost laughable.

But not now. The Rosé before her was no longer listless.

‘Right. The madam must have her plans.’

Let’s trust the madam.

“Madam!”

With an excited face, Jane hugged Rosé.

“Ah, Jane. Get away from me! You’ll get wet too.”

Rosé tried to push Jane away, but Jane only hugged her tighter.

“There’s no one like the madam.”

Rosé smiled as she looked at Jane burrowing into her.

“Can’t stop you, really.”

She gave up on pushing Jane away and gently patted her back.

As Jane had done, Rosé also comforted her.

“Ah, ah ahchoo!”

While comforting Jane, Rosé sneezed loudly with a sniffle.

Only then did Jane seem to regain her senses, and abruptly lifted her head.

“This is not the time! Madam, are you cold?”

Rosé sniffled and said.

“I feel a bit chilly.”

“Oh my! It would be terrible if you caught a cold!”

As if she had regained her spirit, Jane’s voice was very resounding.

“Let’s go inside for now, madam. I think you need to get out of these wet clothes first.”

Jane almost pushed Rosé into the room. Then, with extremely hurried movements, she grabbed Rosé’s dress.

“Ah right, let’s only tell this to Sairon.”

At Jane’s revived spirit, a cheerful Rosé gently spoke.

‘Jane and Sir Sairon. Although they didn’t tell me, the pink exchange between the two is quite unusual.’

The glances they sent each other were very passionate.

Although they had never officially said ‘we’re dating’, it was very obvious.

The subtle caring behavior, and the occasional natural skinship. It’s said that those in office romances can’t hide, it shows.

‘…… That’s right. When I announced that I was dating Do Hyun, the reaction was like this.’

‘Who wouldn’t know about you two dating?’

‘Right. Both of you are dripping honey from your eyes.’

When I bravely revealed it at a university drinking party, people’s reactions were quite sour. It was obvious that the two of us were together, they said.

It was a secret only the two of us didn’t know.

Recalling the memories with him wasn’t very pleasant, but thanks to that, Rosé felt the same way as her classmates.

As soon as Sairon’s name came up, Jane, who usually laughed heartily, hardened her face unlike usual.

“…… No. Don’t tell Sir Sairon.”

“Uh, huh?”

What’s with her today?

At Jane’s unusual attitude, Rosé looked at Jane with wide eyes.

She should be laughing and saying, oh, we must tell Sir Sairon, right.

‘…Strange. Did they have a fight?’

Rosé glanced at Jane. Jane’s eyes were burning like flames.

‘Scary…’

She felt an unspoken anger, that she wouldn’t let Sairon off.

“Madam, from now on, don’t get close to that bastard, no, that guy.”

Hmm? Bastard?

I didn’t know Jane could make such a vicious face……

To Rosé, Jane was always a person who only showed an angelic smile, she didn’t realize that she could show such humanlike emotions too.

‘Seems like Sir Sairon really messed up.’

Rosé quickly scanned Jane with surprised eyes.

‘…… The couple ring is gone too?’

Rosé, who had been intently observing Jane’s hand, noticed at some point that the ring she had cherished was gone.

“Goodness… They must have had a bigger fight than I thought.”

If she’s removed her ring, it’s not a trivial matter.

“That’s why Lord Serrin has been scarce these past few days.”

Serrin, who used to come around every day, had been absent since the day before yesterday.

I thought he was just too busy to come, but it appears that there must have been some issue in his relationship with Jane.

Jane wet her lips as she looked at Rosé, who was oblivious.

“I need to tell the lady. That rascal Serrin has been spying on us from the start.”

The thought of Serrin made one side of Jane’s chest feel prickly.

“That… scoundrel!”

Due to her indignation, she could not immediately tell Rosé. She was even struggling to control her own emotions.

But now, she would have to reveal his true nature.

Jane, who had her eyes downcast, struggled to open her mouth.

“Uh, ma’am. I have something to tell you…”

At the same time Jane started speaking, a maid knocked on Rosé’s door.

Knock, knock.

“Madam, your bath is ready.”

“Ah, thank you. I’ll be there shortly.”

Rosé answered immediately with a sniffle.

“I need to warm myself in hot water. I’ve been feeling chilly.”

Rosé, who was talking to herself with a bright expression, turned to Jane.

“Oh, Jane. What were you going to say?”

“Ah… I’ll tell you later.”

She couldn’t keep the shivering lady waiting like this.

Jane shook her head and spoke softly.

“Alright, I understand.”

Rosé nodded at Jane’s words and left the room.

“I’ll take you to the bathroom.”

The maid greeting Rosé at the door was strangely flustered. She fiddled with her fingers and pointed to the right.

“Uh… you will be using the bathroom over there today…”

The maid trailed off, glancing at Rosé.

“Are there multiple bathrooms?”

Seeing the maid pointing in a different direction than usual, she didn’t think much of it.

In this large mansion, it wouldn’t make sense to only have one bathroom.

“Sure, lead the way.”

At Rosé’s words, the maid quietly nodded. She led Rosé with small steps.

“Please go in.”

Upon reaching the bathroom, the door opened with a small thud.

Rosé was awestruck by the much more spacious and splendid sight than her usual bathroom.

Aside from being large, the entire bathroom was filled with the scent of lavender.

The petals floating in the bathtub, the scented candles scattered around.

It felt like this would be the atmosphere if one were to receive a proposal in the bathroom.

Rosé was taken aback by the overly grand ambiance of the bathroom.

“Then, enjoy your time.”

After saying that, the maid left the bathroom. Usually, she would assist Rosé during her bath, but she left abruptly.

Left alone, Rosé couldn’t shake off her uneasiness.

“…Enjoy my time, huh. Is it saying I should enjoy some alone time?”

It felt like a strange comment. Rosé tilted her head and took off her robe, revealing a thin slip.

Just as she was about to take off the remaining clothes and held her slip, the bathroom door swung open.

Rosé quickly dropped her lifted clothes and turned her head.

Looking at the door, Rosé’s face quickly turned cold.

“…Eric?”

Eric, who had walked in wearing only a robe, was standing there.
