yes gazed at him.
At that moment, he reached out his hand towards her without knowing.
It was an act that came out of nowhere.
Does he want to hold on to her?
Or, did he want to pull her closer…?
Maybe, he just wanted to tidy up the little hair that had poked out under her hairband.
Unlike her, who was good at everything she did, Ahibalt himself was not good at refining appearance.
In the first place, he had never tried to tidy up someone’s appearance.
Even that would be a good excuse for someone who has a crush…
But, the moment Ahibalt’s hand got closer…
“Miss Irene!”
Someone jumped out of the threshold.
A maid with long silver hair, tied high like Irene when she was young.
Louise Orpen
Seeing her, Ahibalt hurriedly removed his hand, while Irene raised her head.
At the moment of that intersection, he could see.
The moment she saw Louise, Irene’s expression brightened up.
“Miss Louise.”
At Irene’s voice calling for Louise, her relief and joy were evident.
Fortunately, Louise did not notice the strange atmosphere in this room.
She only bowed her head and greeted Ahibalt cheerfully.
“Yes! Oh, the First Master was also here.
Excuse me.”
“…It is all right.
What is going on?”
“It is just that there is something Miss Irene has to do urgently.
Are you very busy?”
“Oh, no.
I am already finished.
First Master, then I will come back to inform you when the painter arrives.
Didn’t the Master say that he was preparing for an executive meeting?”
“…All right.
I will be in the office, so come over there when you need to find me.”
“Yes, I see.”
Finally, she greeted him with impeccable respect and left the room.
As always.
It was always Ahibalt, the only one holding onto her feet.

‘I almost got into trouble…’
Irene swept her chest inside.
It felt like an emergency just now because the sound of her heart pounding still seemed to ring in her ears.
She obviously thought Ahibalt could not understand her pronunciation when her tongue was stiff, though he did.
If she said something wrong, it would surely have put her in jeopardy.
When he asked why she did not tell him, Irene had nothing to say about it in moderation.
The problem was that if a servant seemed suspicious to the employer, she would just not be fired, although her neck might be cut off…
‘My head just went white, and I could not think of anything… but luckily, thanks to Louise, I can buy time.’
Irene closed the door behind her back and walked over to Louise as if running away.
“So, Louise.
What is the matter? Are you having a hard time organizing the corsages?”
“No! Thank you for teaching me, now, the corsage is very well organized, right? You will be surprised later.”
“Then?”
“There was a guest outside, and the butler was not here..”
“Oh.”
At Louise’s words, she nodded her head.
The Lavrenti’s butler was off duty from last night until this evening.
It was also one of the few vacation days, and it was due to the worsening of a chronic illness that his wife was suffering from.
In a normal mansion, if there was no butler, the head maid would welcome guests.
However, here, there was no head maid, so Louise naturally came to find Irene.
Fortunately, she already knew who the guest was.
The main character of this episode…
Andrei, the painter sent from Lichpen that was sent to paint a portrait of Ahibalt.
First of all, welcoming guests was a priority, so Irene hastily wiped her hands dry on her apron.
“If we have guests, you have to prepare tea first.
By the way, I knew the painter would only come in the evening, but for some reason, he came so quickly?”
“A painter…?”
Hearing her words, Louise tilted her head.
Seeing her reaction, Irene had an intuition that, in her experience so far, things never worked out when these objections came back.
“It was not a painter.”
“…Yes?”
“The guest is a noble lady.
I heard her name was Charlotte Eunice.”
As soon as she heard those words, Irene could feel that her mind, which had been absent for a while, quickly returned to its place.
The reason was simple.
It was because it was not Charlotte Eunice’s turn to appear yet.
