“How much is this? I’ll return you all the money at once,” she offered as she held a packet of biscuits

up. Then, she tore the packet open and threw a piece into her mouth. “Didn’t you say that you’d pay for

my accommodation and food for a whole week, Young Master Nigel? Why are you asking me for

money now?” she protested.

“I’m charging for the snacks,” Nigel said with one eyebrow raised. He enjoyed watching Queenie lose

her temper. The snacks in Queenie’s mouth didn’t taste as good once she heard that she had to pay for

them. Well, do I have a choice? I’m the one who’s staying in his house now, right? “Are you still hiring

staff for your hotel, Young Master Nigel?

Can I work there?” Queenie was thinking of getting a job, and she figured that since there was a

business owner right in front of her eyes, she might as well ask. I bet the pay will be good if I work at

his hotel, she thought..

“I’m not hiring, Nigel replied. He didn’t. want to hire female staff like her who’d only cause him trouble.

“I’m begging you. My parents chased me out of the house, and I don’t have anywhere else to go, so I

need to make my own living. I’d work for you even if you offered me a job as a cleaner.” Queenie didn’t

moment, even though she felt rather glum after the rejection. Being the naturally optimistic girl that she

was, she quickly forgot about her sorrows as she munched on her snacks.

However, the silence of the hall seemed to enhance the loud thoughts in her mind. Did Mom and Dad

try to call me at all? Would they be worried about me? Or… do they not care about me anymore?

Tears formed in the girl’s eyes as she munched on her snacks. She bit her lip to stop herself from

making any noise, but a sob escaped her in the end. Meanwhile, the man who had come downstairs to

get some water froze when he heard the sound of sobs by the couch in the hall.

Hel was stunned for a few seconds, and he turned to find a girl munching on snacks while drying her

tears with the back of her arm. Nigel fell deep in thought after: that.
