The housekeepers were busy working at the sound of someone pressing the front door code and coming in. Bo-eun and I were cleaning the windows.
"Who are you? I've never seen you before."
What the hell? This guy who's so rude to me the first time I see him is a master? By the way, he looks exactly like my ideal type...
"Hey, is this the new housekeeper?"
"Huh.. Yes..? Ah.. Yes!"
When Bo-eun stammered next to me, I frowned and cleared my throat as if I was uncomfortable.
"I told you I didn't like it when I stuttered."
".. sorry..!"
"If you know, act properly, because it's really annoying."
He looks like he'd be cute, but he's actually really prickly. The maids are all nice, but the master is not so good. If I get caught, I'm screwed.
“.. Are you always that prickly?”
"..Yeah, if you take it wrong, it gets cut off right away."
"Some people get fired in one day."
"Eek..."
I thought I should just live in complete silence, but that young master looked so tempting.
"How old are you, young master?"
"19 years old..."
".. Are you going to Carat?"
"Huh? How did you know??"
"you?"
"I'm also a Carat and I returned to school as a freshman.."
Is that young master the grumpy, stern senior bully we've all heard about? I know he doesn't smoke, only drinks. I guess I was right when you said he was sensitive to height. He's about the same size as me.
"..He's a famous senior in our grade."
"okay?"
"huh"
"Let's talk about it later when we sleep."
"Yeah, yeah, Bo-eun, fighting!"
"You too, heroine"
We said our goodbyes and went about our daily tasks. After about three hours, the master brought me a cup of barley tea and invited me in.
dripping,
"Who are you?"
"I'm the maid that the young master called..."
"Ah, come in."
The master said he wouldn't let me clean his room carelessly. Still, it was cleaner than I expected. He said he rarely gets called to his room, except when he's being fired.
"Are you a student at our school?"
"Yes, how do you know that..?"
"There is something like that. Ha..."
I wanted to say, "It's annoying if you sigh as soon as you see it," but I held back and listened.
"Hey you"
"yes..?"
"Don't pretend to know me at school."
I wouldn't have done it even if you told me to... because I thought I'd get fired.
