"Where is the paper?"

Leo questioned with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes, that is what I am asking, Leo. Where is the paper?"

Lovis narrowed his eyes.

Leo turned around and glanced at Lovis,

"Master Lovis, I really don't know, I placed it here. I remember it well. I am sure that I am not mistaken!"

"Oh? Then where is it? Did it fly away on its own?"

Lovis questioned.

"I do not know! I placed it here a few hours ago, how can it just… disappear?"

"Maybe you picked it up?"

Lovis questioned.

"Of course not, why would I do something like this? Master Lovis, you know it, I am not that careless. If I had picked it up, I would know where I placed it.

I am a responsible man."

Seeing his butler's reaction, Lovis frowned.

He already knew that the paper wouldn't be here, it was obvious, Evane had her own paper, so of course, the paper he had must be missing.

And just like Evane thought, the second person he doubted was his own butler.

That was the reason he asked him to come with him.

He wanted to see his butler's reaction.

However, now that he has finally seen it, Lovis found it hard to believe that his butler was the one who betrayed him.

Even after seeing that the paper is missing, his butler didn't even realize the fact that he is suspicious of him.

Leo thought that Lovis actually wanted his help to find the paper.

This was not the reaction that a traitor would show.

There were two choices here,

First, Leo was a great actor and knew how to fool him.

Second, Leo was actually innocent.

Both options had an equal likelihood of being true.

Leo has been living with Lovis for a long long time now, for him, fooling Lovis wasn't a hard job.
