Annika's smile was as warm as a sunlit porch on a summer's day. "I can handle taking care of both of the ladies, but to be honest, I only want to tend to the lucky Ms. Josefina." Josefina chuckled appreciatively. "Thank you for the compliment, Annika. Let me share with you my preferences. How about we stroll in the garden? That way, we won't disturb anyone else." "Of course, Ms. Josefina."

Annika followed Josefina out, while Regina stood with hands on hips, fuming. "That sly old fox! I tell you, she's up to no good. Ryan, you better find a way to show her the door!"

Ryan replied with a dose of reality, "Regina, do I look like the lord of the Harrison estate to you? Do I have that kind of power? We're all just hired housekeepers here. Are you seriously trying to make decisions in place of the owners? I still want my job, you know."

Regina, out of breath and unable to argue further, stormed off.

In the garden, Josefina and Annika walked one after another. The flowers on either side bloomed brilliantly, dotted with the morning dew. A gentle breeze came by, causing the dew drops to cascade down the swaying petals.

Annika spoke excitedly, "Ms. Josefina, I've finally got the chance to serve you. Ever since I heard you found your way back home, I've been longing to come. If only you hadn't been so reluctant, I would have packed my bags and arrived overnight."

Josefina smiled softly, affectionately taking Annika's wrist. "The previous home wasn't my real home. I was switched at birth. When I first came back here, I wasn't familiar with the household, which is why I didn't have you join me."
