I won't pick up the trash i threw away again

Chapter-25

Again, Philen didn't say anything.

There was no way he could say anything because it was all true and it was the words he spat out.

Then, time passed in vain while he was silent.

At a time like this, it would be nice to look at at least one more document, but as soon as the thought occurred to me, I smiled.

What are you thinking like a fool in this situation?

It all happened when I was with Philen.

I thought it would be better to go now, so when I was going to walk past him, Philen spoke again.

"...you thought I would back off, didn't you?

Philen's golden eyes gleamed in a flash.

"You think if you protest that you won't do the job anymore, I'm going to hesitate and say sorry, right?"

"I never thought of that, and I have no intention of protesting."

"Is this not a protest?"

"Yeah. I'm just trying to be aware of my position and act as you said."

Philen's jaw tightened.

His deep wrinkled eyebrows looked very displeased with the situation.

"Is this how it's supposed to turn out?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

I shrugged lightly as if I didn't really know anything.

"Then, it seems like we're done talking. Can I leave now? I am tired."

Philen didn't answer, but I took it as a positive affirmation and left the room.

When I went back to my room, it had already been cleaned. The sofa and carpet that were asked to be replaced were also replaced with new ones.

Sarah, who was working on the finishing touches, found me and smiled brightly.

"I was just about to go report to you, but you came first."

"Somehow."

The smile on Sarah's face disappeared at my indifferent answer.

"My Lady, what happened?"

"Do I look like something has happened?"

"Yes. You don't look well."

Is that so?

I checked my face in the mirror.

It was an ordinary face, no different from usual. It didn't look bad or weird at all.

"Oh, by the way, while you were away, I got a letter from the West."

Sarah approached me and gave me the letter she had taken beforehand.

"I think it was a letter from the aides..."

"Stop."

I raised my hand to cover Sarah's mouth.

"From now on, all letters from the aides should be delivered to the Duke."

"Yes? But, it says it's a letter related to work."

"That's why. Now, the Duke of Williot's work will be done by the Duke. So bring it to him."

Then, I handed over all the documents I brought with me to Sarah.

"And bring all of this to the Duke."

"By any chance... Did something happen between My Lady and the Master?"
