Chapter 8
When Louise called his name the third time, Brian finally snapped out of it. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Louise’s eyes darkened slightly as she smiled. “Nothing, what were you thinking about? Work stuff?”
Brian absentmindedly nodded and softly said, “Yeah.”
“I mentioned earlier, let’s go take wedding photos tomorrow, okay?”
Brian hadn’t really been thinking. He just nodded again. “Sure.”
Louise quietly resumed eating her soup, not saying another word.
Grace didn’t have much luggage, and her clothes were minimal. In less than half an hour, she had packed all her belongings. Carrying the cumbersome suitcase, she carefully guarded her stomach as she descended the stairs.
Seeing her, Melvin immediately rushed to help. “Miss Sherman, let me help you.”
Grace gave a bitter smile. “Melvin, don’t address me like that anymore. From today onwards, I’m living and dining with the staff. I’m just a maid in this house, so just call me Grace.”
Melvin couldn’t bear to look at her, sighed deeply, and ultimately said nothing. He took the suitcase and headed for the servants‘ quarters.
“Miss Sherman, the servants‘ quarters are all shared rooms. There’s still one room unoccupied. It might be more spacious for you to have it all to yourself.”
Grace nodded. “Thank you, Melvin.”
“You don’t need to thank me. Those of us who’ve served many households consider you the best employer we’ve ever had. You never put on airs in front of us and often help with our chores. It’s heartbreaking to see how Mr. Francis is treating you now.”
Grace brushed it off with a smile. “I’m fine, Melvin. Could you help me move another box?”
