Chapter 44
After finishing their meal, Kartian went to his office to work, and Lia was also about to head to the office.
“Ma’am, how about just resting today?”
‘Hmm?’
Lia looked puzzled at the maid’s words.
“Well…”
The maid hesitated.
From that pause, Lia guessed what the maid wanted to say.
So, she must mean that since she had been with Kartian yesterday, her body might not be feeling well, and it would be better to rest today.
Lia had only pretended to be with him, and on top of that, she had been too busy with many other things to worry about that part.
Seeing Lia’s expression briefly harden, the maid flinched, thinking she might have said something unnecessary.
“I have things I need to check. If you’re worried about my body, it’s fine. Thank you.”
Lia added the last words casually. At that, the maid’s eyes widened. She had expected Lia to say it was meddling, or that she had overstepped her bounds.
Since becoming Lia’s personal maid, she had realized one thing: the person she served was truly different from other noble ladies or royalty. Even as a maid, she was not ignored or treated poorly.
It was hard to understand why there had been so many bad rumors about her until now.
Some maids had expressed worry when they learned they had become Lia’s personal maids.
Even knowing how Lia had changed, they secretly worried that she might act cruelly toward them just because they were her personal maid.
At their words, Lia’s personal maid, Laila, looked puzzled. At the same time, she defended her mistress, insisting that she was not the cruel person rumors made her out to be. She gave specific examples of how Lia treated her and highlighted that Lia was truly a good person.
