19 SIEBZEHN

"Then until next time, Lord Theodore, Lady Mei," Samuel said. We decided to be casual because it was more of a rule to ignore the hierarchy, but it is different when greeting and important things. We all said our goodbyes, and Theodore drove us back to the Manor. "What about my job, Theodore?" I inquired as he drove.

"Do not worry about it; let us just go there tomorrow." I nodded, wondering how it would be if we went there tomorrow. Even if I had not done anything wrong, I would not dare to face them. We got to the Manor. "Greetings, My Lord and Lady!" exclaimed the servants as they bowed and curtsied.

We went to our ostensibly assigned room. Will Theodore spend the night here? "My Lord, My Lady, the bath is ready for you," Lia said as Theodore exited. "You wash up first, Theodore," I suggested, and he agreed and went inside. I took out my phone and texted the Honorable Speaker.

Salutations, Mr. Speaker.

Please excuse my absences; something unexpected came up.
