A Shocked Ben

Scarlett was surprised to see Maddy still waiting for her when she got home. She usually would dismiss Maddy, but today she doesn't have the energy to do that. Also, she needs Maddy's help.

"Young madam, you look very exhausted!" This was the first time Maddy had seen Scarlett exhausted like she was now; Her eyes weren't as bright as usual, and she wasn't as enthusiastic talking to her as she used to be.

Not hearing Scarlett say anything, Maddy continued to help her remove her wig and dress. 

Scarlett has an odd routine. She must shower before sleeping, even in the middle of winter. And this habit of hers had surprised Maddy and Erica. Particularly the temperature now in early autumn was freezing, and she still had to shower even though it was midnight like now. 

When Maddy and Erica learn about Scarlett's routine, they ensure warm water is ready and the bathtub is filled with it before she comes home.
