The maid's eyes bulged in shock at Elysia's boldness, clearly not expecting her to come out swinging like she'd just downed a shot of espresso on an empty stomach!
And to think this was happening right in the middle of Hawkins Manor, of all places. Who gave her the nerve to sass members of the Hawkins family? Even a stray dog knows better than to bite without checking if its owner is around. And here she was, a mere servant of the Hawkins family!
The maid wanted to retort, but words failed her.
Elysia wasn't wrong, after all. According to tradition, only when referring to Pamela could one directly use the title 'Mrs.'
