Reyna received her grandmother’s medical records from K, holding them preciously with sparkling eyes.

“Thank you.”

K smiled.

“No problem. Thank you for lending it. You must have missed her a lot.”

K’s subtle smile softened the chilly atmosphere that had lingered with Arthur’s ‘inspection’ order.

Sitting in front of Reyna’s table, K initiated a conversation.

“Weren’t you surprised because of His Excellency? I thought it would be better if you didn’t appear too close in front of Taylor Lorenson. Even considering that, it seems like you came in a bit roughly.”

“Ah…”

Reyna chuckled awkwardly and nodded.

“Yeah, it’s okay. I wasn’t surprised.”

She was surprised, but it wasn’t the kind of shock that left her paralyzed.

However, Taylor seemed to have genuinely accepted the intention.

Thinking of Taylor’s offer to make her faint today, Reyna felt both grateful and apologetic.

Reyna glanced down at Taylor’s medical records silently.

【Need help?】
【I’ll come again tomorrow.】

Reyna toyed with the medical records.

“…”

For someone to say that to me,

It must have been quite a burden for Taylor.

She was truly thankful, and she felt a sense of guilt for making him worry to that extent.

Reyna didn’t want to cause Taylor any more distress.

“Mr. K, I have something to tell you.”

As soon as she looked at the medical records, Reyna had already reached a conclusion in her heart.

Taylor was needed.

She could trust Taylor.

“Sure, Lady.”

K smiled at her.

…Phew.

Reyna took a deep breath.

Over the past five years, the viscount consistently sent caregivers to take care of her grandmother,

So Reyna trusted and believed in the promises made by the viscountess through her experience.

Although the viscountess was not the most generous person,

Reyna believed that the mistress was someone who kept her word.

That was why Reyna accepted the viscountess’s proposal.

However, Taylor’s question, “Is she really your grandmother?” and the medical records he prepared for her made Reyna think more,

And it led her to a more confident conclusion.

I don’t trust the viscountess anymore.

Reyna firmly clenched the medical records.

“…”

I don’t need money.

I’m still young.

I won’t receive a recommendation letter.

Even if I can’t work as a maid anymore, I’ll find another way.

And Arthur will protect my grandmother.

He is someone who knows how to treat a precious person with care.

Reyna smiled sincerely at K while preparing herself to speak candidly, but deep down, she thought coldly.

Even if Arthur and K are good people, they won’t take responsibility for me forever.
However, if you ask them to take responsibility for your grandmother, they will likely agree to that extent.

After that, Reyna prepared herself to accept the consequences of her choices.

Placing the journal on her lap, Reyna looked at K sitting across from her.

Reyna opened up about her story, which she had postponed since “meeting Taylor.”

It felt quite ordinary.

It was an unremarkable, common story without any special background.

The viscountess set the condition of involving Taylor in taking care of her sick grandmother,

And for Reyna, it was a fervent desire.

If Arthur could fulfill that, Reyna expressed her willingness to help Arthur with anything on his side.

Reyna asked if she could convince Taylor to continue what he had been doing on Arthur’s side rather than the viscountess’s.

Even if the viscountess realized that I turned away and gave other orders,

Could Taylor still continue to take care of my grandmother like he does now?

Without even consulting Arthur, K immediately agreed.

With more surprising words from Reyna…

“Ah. I’ve already spoken with Mr. Taylor Lorenson. I was going to tell you anyway…”

“We’ve secured a place where your grandmother is.”

Reyna’s eyes widened.

K spoke gently.

“Just don’t be unnecessarily surprised; I told them to deploy enough security personnel.”

“But it seems that meeting in person would reassure you the most…”

“How about bringing Lady to meet us once? After that, we can discuss changing the residence.”

“To an unknown location.”

Reyna looked at K in shock, covering her mouth with both hands.

Smiling, K said, “Lady, and you can call it a ‘condition’ rather than a ‘basic premise.'”

“Since our conversation last night, I’ve naturally thought that first securing your grandmother’s safety is a top priority.”

K smiled and wrote something on paper.

“Try mentioning different negotiation conditions. We also have a conscience; how can you state such an obvious thing as a condition?”

Then, like a teacher lightly giving a hint to a student about the answer to a test question, he continued.

“Ask for something better. Ask for a luxury mansion, a farm, or even a small estate, including several servants. You can even request a garden. You can say things like that.”

Reyna burst into laughter.

Smiling gently, K said, “He will more than meet your requests.”

K’s words continued.
