Chapter 0009

It had been a long while since Miranda had done something on her own.

While she hadn’t exactly been waited on during the few years she’d lived with Hansel, this was still the first time she’d donesomething that involved so much of her physical energy.

Even though money had been tight the first few years when Hansel had started his business, she still hadn’t had to clean the entire mansion on her own because they’d hired an hourly helper every week for the major cleaning.

After she was done with one tin of paint, Miranda could feel her waist aching. She really wasn’t used to physical labor like this after so long.

She went out of her apartment to the corridor to fetch more tins of paint. However, she accidentally tripped over herself and spilled one of tins over. Luckily, she managed to save it before it made a huge mess, but it still caused a few paint splotches at her neighbor’s door.
