Sylvia's POV:

Although I didn't quite understand the situation, I didn't ask any questions. I just took note of what she said.

"My name's Nicole. I'm the housekeeper here. If you need anything, just knock on the door gently. There's no need to shout."

"Oh, okay..." I replied in a low voice and observed Nicole quietly, although I could only see her red eyes in the dark.

"Actually, I'm a little hungry now. Is there anything I can eat?" I asked softly, trying to test her attitude.

"Wait one moment."

After saying that, Nicole disappeared behind the door and locked it. A few minutes later, she came back and handed me a plate.

"Eat this first. Dinner will be ready shortly." As soon as I touched the edge of the plate, Nicole withdrew her hands abruptly, as if she was afraid that I would touch her.
