Footsteps sounded from outside the door; it was the servant delivering food as usual.
"Miss, your lunch has been left at the door."
The servant's voice came through the thick wooden panel, carrying their usual respectful yet distant tone.
Carola felt annoyed just hearing the noise. But she held back and remained silent until the footsteps faded away. Then she suddenly stood up, grabbed the glass from the table, and smashed it fiercely against the wall.
"Crash!"
Glass shards flew everywhere, and water stains spread across the floor.
Lance arrived very quickly.
Just as Carola threw the glass, hurried footsteps echoed outside the door, followed immediately by Lance's deep, stern voice. "Carola, what kind of crazy stunt are you pulling now?"
Carola sneered. "Me, pulling a crazy stunt? Lance, did you forget that I'm a human being, not your prisoner! If you keep locking me up like this, even if I don't go crazy, you'll drive me insane!"
Lance pushed the door open, his gaze sweeping over the mess on the floor as his brows furrowed tightly. "Clean this up. From now on, do not give Carola anything dangerous like this. If it happens again, you’re fired."
Behind him, the servant nodded, trembling with fear, and quickly brought a broom to clean up the wreckage.
Carola stood rooted to the spot, watching coldly as the mess on the floor was swept up bit by bit, her chest heaving violently.
