Reiner walked steadily, followed by Hanna, who was always just behind him. They had just finished an important meeting in the hotel's conference room, and though their intention was to return to the office, Reiner's eyes wandered around the luxurious hotel, searching for the peace that seemed to constantly evade him.

However, when his gaze stopped at a figure that suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, that fleeting sense of peace quickly vanished. Padma. The woman who had been in his life for so long, who always brought pain and bitter memories, now stood before him with a smile that seemed overly friendly.

Padma smiled widely, as if nothing had ever happened between them. She walked closer, and Reiner felt his feet grow heavy.

“We meet again, Rei. What brings you here?”

Her voice was gentle, without a trace of regret or sadness, yet there was a subtle sharpness hidden behind that smile.

Reiner remained silent for a moment, staring blankly at Padma. The buried feelings he'd tr

    That night, the atmosphere inside Reiner's large house was eerily quiet. The clock in the living room ticked slowly, showing it was almost eleven o'clock. Elise was still sitting on a chair near the window, wearing her maid uniform, which had become increasingly uncomfortable. She pulled a thin blanket over her shoulders, trying to fight the drowsiness that had been weighing down her eyes for hours. But she knew that if she didn't wait for Reiner to come home, the risk would be too great.Just as her eyes were about to close, the creaking sound of the front gate startled her. Reiner had finally returned. The sound of his leather shoes echoed clearly on the marble floor, prompting Elise to quickly stand up. Despite his obvious fatigue, the man entered with a still impeccable appearance. He pulled off his tie and carelessly tossed his coat and briefcase into Elise's waiting hands."Why are you still up?" Reiner asked as he walked toward the living room, his voice low but firm.Elise str

    Elise hurried toward the front yard after hastily cleaning herself up. Her face was still damp, her half-dry hair loosely tied back, and though her uniform looked neater, faint wrinkles remained on the sleeves.As she approached the black car parked nearby, she saw Reiner standing beside the vehicle, arms crossed over his chest. His expression was blank, but his slightly raised chin added to his signature arrogance.“Took you long enough,” Reiner muttered, glancing at his watch.Elise swallowed hard, stopping in her tracks, her legs trembling slightly. “I apologize, sir. I came as soon as—”“Open the door.”His voice was flat, devoid of anger, yet sharp enough to cut off her explanation. Elise hesitated for a moment, feeling that his curt order hardly matched the effort she had just put in. But she knew arguing was pointless.

    Elise crouched by the poolside, using a cleaning net to scoop out dry leaves. Occasionally, she let out a quiet sigh. The gentle rippling of the water beneath her feet was soothing, but her mind was unsettled."Greta… she always acts like she’s better than everyone else," Elise muttered under her breath, her voice just audible over the rustling breeze. "And Mrs. Barbra? Instead of giving proper orders, she sent me to clean the pool. Does she not realize this is a daytime task, not something to be done first thing in the morning?"Her lips pursed in protest as she stirred the water with the net, creating tiny bubbles on the surface. "What am I, a robot? A servant is a servant, but that doesn’t mean I deserve to be treated like trash. If they think I’m trying to get attention, they couldn’t be more wrong!"As Elise continued grumbling to herself, she was unaware that from behind the glass wal

    The sharp clack of Barbra’s high heels echoed through the narrow hallway, which was filled with the scent of floor cleaner. Elise, just stepping out of the bathroom in a towel robe, nearly dropped the small towel she was holding when she saw the elegant yet intimidating figure standing before her.“Mrs. Barbra?” Elise’s voice trembled as she spoke, her gaze immediately dropping in an attempt to avoid Barbra’s piercing stare.Barbra glanced around with a look of disdain, like a queen who had wandered into a slum. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, she swore she would never set foot in this place.“You’re quite something, Elise. Your innocent act is very convincing.”Elise lifted her head slightly, still overwhelmed by fear and confusion. “I-I’m sorry, Madam… What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

    The evening sky was overcast when Elise arrived at the small house she hadn’t visited in a long time. As soon as she knocked on the door, hurried footsteps sounded from inside. The door swung open quickly, revealing Lily, her ten-year-old younger sister, with sparkling eyes."Elise!"Lily immediately threw herself into Elise’s arms, sobbing against her sister’s shoulder. Elise hugged her back, gently stroking her hair, trying to hold back the tears welling in her eyes."Lily, I’m here. Don’t cry, okay?"But Elise’s voice trembled with emotion. She released the hug and took Lily’s hand, leading her inside."Come on, let’s talk inside."In the simple living room, Elise opened her bag and took out some gifts. Lily’s eyes lit up again when she saw the chocolates and a new storybook."You always know wha
