"It's already so late. Who asked you to clean this area?" Tremaine's eyes swept over the maid like a sharp knife.
The maid replied in a panic, "I wanted to clean at night. I was afraid that I would make it slippery during the day, so I came here in the evening."
Tremaine smirked.
He responded, "If you are just mopping the floor, then why did you need to smash the door?"
The maid's heart skipped a beat.
She wondered if Tremaine had seen what she did.
The maid lowered her head even lower. "Mr. Tremaine, I was careless. I didn't mean to disturb Ms. Yuliana. I was careless. I..."
"I don't have much patience." Tremaine interrupted the maid. "I'll ask you one more time. Who asked you to clean the place so late at night?"
At first, Zorion thought that they could chat happily if he came to look for Ruth at night, just like how they were before she came back to the palace.
But somehow, the atmosphere was a little
depressing.
Of course, Zorion didn't know how to suppress it. He only knew that both of them were unhappy.
He couldn't smile either.
Ruth didn't seem to be able to smile either.
It seemed that neither of them had anything to say.
"Ruth." Zorion couldn't help saying, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Ruth shook her head.
She urged Zorion again, "It's late, Mr. Zorion. You should go back quickly. Don't come to me so late next time. It's not good if someone sees you."
Zorion replied, "But Madam Quartley and my wife don't like me seeing you. If I don't come late at night, I won't be able to see you."
Ruth gritted her teeth and retorted cruelly, "If you are forbidden to see me, Mr. Zorion, then we shouldn't meet too often. After all, you have a wife and I am also married. It's not good for us to meet."
"Why not?" Zorion asked, "We are friends."
"Even if we are friends, there's still a difference between men and women," Ruth replied. "Mr. Zorion, you also know that I'm married and have a husband. If my husband finds out that I'm meeting with another man at night, he won't be happy. So please don't come looking for me again."
Zorion was taken aback.
