Luckily, I was able to send Ki-hoon off as he stared at me in that stunned state and sighed in relief.
I was finally alone.
But Ki-hoon did say something before he walked out the door. He said,
"Would you like to come with me to the office one of these days?"
I didn't hesitate to shake my head and decline.
"No, thanks,"
It was too early to start getting involved in the affairs of the office. And if I started getting involved, everyone else would start asking me to go with them to the office, parading me like a trophy, and then I wouldn't have time to read my books in peace.
I have to enjoy my free time as much as I can before the plot officially begins. Point of correction-- before the mishaps start happening, and I have to get involved.
I went up to my room and found the maids ready to give me a bath. I recognized May standing next to April and confirmed she was indeed one of the people who took care of me.
