Jeanne and Monica's Joint Counterattack

"The Hills have always been ranked by status. Since you're now the closest person to Mr. Hill, naturally, your status is different from ours. Though I'm indeed much older than you, I won't address you respectfully, and you don't have to be so polite to me. It's best if you call me by my name."

"Since you've said so, I'll call you Lucy from now on." Melinda looked pleased with herself. When she heard Lucy say that she had a higher status, she couldn't help but feel smug.

Lucy nodded. "I'm looking for Mr. Hill."

"He's showering."

The bathroom door opened, and Kingsley walked out naked. Lucy glanced at him before shifting her gaze away.

Melinda walked over self-assuringly and tied the bathrobe she had been wearing around Kingsley's waist. "Mr. Hill, Lucy is looking for you."

"Okay," Kingsley responded.

After receiving permission, Lucy entered the room.
