Chapter 9

　　Should I go back to them? Should I let them see my tears? Or should I just hide it the way I did before?

　　"What happened to you, Mrs. Brooks?"

　　I supported my weight by embracing the long table as a maid came closer to me.

　　I pretended like I was okay. "This is nothing. Please leave me now."

　　"Madam informed us to let you feel comfortable here. And it's not a good sign that we see you crying."

　　"Have you seen the girl on the balcony now?"

　　She stood uncomfortably, and I knew she'd pitied me now. "She is Sir Xlyde's past lover, ma'am, although I am sure they are already over."

　　Yes, they are, but their feelings towards each other are not, my mind spoke, killing my system.
