Agnes and Ryder both paused when they heard that.
Agnes quickly clarified, "I'm not Mr. Ryder's girlfriend."
Seeing Agnes' displeasure, the maid was a bit flustered.
She'd intended to butter up Ms. Agnes, but it seemed like Ms. Agnes didn’t like that.
The maid nervously glanced at Mr. Ryder.
Mr. Ryder looked indifferent, just saying to Agnes, "Let's go."
Ryder led the way, with Agnes tagging along, thinking the Thomas family might have gotten the wrong idea.
If she'd been clear-headed yesterday, she definitely wouldn't have gone to Ryder's room.
She sighed inwardly.
No one here knew her, so she didn't need to fret over it.
The people in the restaurant were the same as yesterday.
Laura saw Agnes and asked with concern, "Agnes, are you feeling better? Why didn't you tell me if you were feeling unwell?"
Agnes gave a smile, "I'm fine."
Beatrice was sarcastic on the side, "With Ryder taking care of you, I bet you'll recover faster than anyone else. Look at his dark circles, you two must've had a rough night, huh?"
Beatrice deliberately made their relationship sound ambiguous.
Raleign laughed and said, "Ryder, you should've told us if you got a girlfriend. Your dad would be thrilled."
Ryder responded, "It’s nothing like that."
Ryder's voice was cold, but his tone casual, but people weren't easily convinced.
Everyone in the household knew Ryder's character well.
Taking a girl to his room? How could that be a misunderstanding?
