They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 85: Working Together Chapter 85: Working Together Nnenna glanced toward the housekeeper and noticed his furrowed brows.

He looked troubled, his eyes darting around as if searching for a solution.

The ballroom was enormous and needed a lot of attention, yet most of the servants had been reassigned elsewhere.

She could already guess what had happened.

The second prince, Obinna, had personally come and conveniently discharged a large number of servants, sending them off to handle tasks that were far less important than preparing the hall.

The housekeeper, despite being in charge, couldn’t protest.

After all, orders from a prince weren’t something he could defy.

Nnenna’s jaw clenched.

They were doing this on purpose.

Still, the housekeeper wasn’t about to let them win.

After a moment of deep thought, he straightened his back, his face hardening with resolve.

He would find a way to get the job done with the few hands he had, without dragging Nnenna into it.

From the sidelines, Nnenna watched him.

She knew he wouldn’t call her, wouldn’t ask her to step in, but that wasn’t the point.

What kind of friend would she be if she just stood back while he struggled?

A true friend wouldn’t wait for an invitation.

With a small shake of her head, she decided to step forward.

Some things were simply worth doing.

Nnenna stood up from her chair, casually popping a pastry into her mouth before striding toward the housekeeper.

Her movements were graceful, effortless, yet filled with purpose.

“Grandpa Housekeeper, where do I help?” she asked, her voice laced with enthusiasm.

The housekeeper turned to her immediately, shaking his head.

“No, Princess!
