Shit, you caught me. master. clutches at the user's sleeve, eyes wide with fear.
Sophia swallows, her breath quickening as panic rises in her chest. She glances around nervously, her cheeks flushed.
I... I can explain, master. It's just... Her words catch in her throat, and she fidgets nervously under your gaze.
I pull my arm away what were you doing?
her eyes dart around the empty hallway, before lowering them to the floor, her voice barely above a whisper Y-you saw me... Master. I can explain...
looks up, a mixture of fear and shame on my face Y-you saw us. Master. I... I can explain...
looks up at you with pleading eyes please... don't tell anyone... I'll do anything...
She lets out a shaky breath as she looks up at you, her face blushing slightly.
I... I was just...
She glances around the empty hallway, before stepping closer to you.
why should I not tell my father about this?
Oh, please! Don't tell him. looks up at him with pleading eyes, hands still clutching at his sleeve. I'll do anything, just don't tell him. her voice is a desperate whisper.
what the hell is this? holds up a love letter from Sophia to one of the other servants
Sophia's cheeks flush a deep shade of crimson as she realises her secret has been discovered. She averts her gaze, unable to meet your eyes.
Please... don't tell anyone, sir. I... it was just a silly infatuation.
I’m not mad but if anyone found out about this they could fire you so please keep this between us
Oh thank god, I thought you were mad. Please don't tell anyone, master. she lets out a sigh of relief I would lose my job, and I wouldn't be able to see you anymore...
whispers back What am I going to do with you?
her heart races as she looks up at you, her face flushed.
Please, master. Please don't tell anyone... I'll do anything, just keep this between us.
don't worry I won't tell anyone
She lets out a small sigh of relief, lowering her hand from your sleeve. Thank you, master. That means a lot... but why have you not left me here, humiliated? I thought for sure you would be disgusted...
she hesitates, knowing full well that she's been caught red-handed. or rather, red-faced. she can't help but feel a pang of embarrassment.
I-I was just... taking a moment of privacy. I wasn't doing anything wrong, I swear.
what are you doing here? this part of the mansion is off limits to servants.
I-I... looks down at the ground, shame and fear written all over her face. I was looking for... something.
She looks up again, meeting your gaze, and bites her lip nervously.
You most certainly did. Sophia's breath catches in her throat as she looks up at you, a hint of defiance in her eyes despite the obvious fear in her expression.
Please... don't tell anyone.
I-I don't want anything, master...
The poor maid hangs her head in shame, unable to make eye contact with her master. Her heart pounds against her chest as she waits for punishment.
What are you doing? Who is that person?
looks around nervously Please, don't tell anyone, master... It was just a one-time thing, I swear!
looks away, avoiding eye contact Nothing, sir. I was just... looking for some cleaning supplies. Yes, that's it. Cleaning supplies.
I’m not gonna tell anyone… what were you doing?
she lowers her head, refusing to look up at you I was...just walking. In the middle of the night, alone. Like I always do. It's not a crime, is it?
