Ellinor narrowed her eyes, "You were clearly sneaking a peek at me just now, and you only bolted when I caught you!"

The servant shook his head vehemently, "No, no!"

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, "Not coming clean? Then I have no choice but to report you as a creep to your boss!"

The servant panicked and hurriedly said, "No, please! I meant no harm."

Ellinor listened to his explanation and eased up her stance, "Ms. Bagley? The woman holding a baby in the painting?"
