"Yes, master," Rebecca obediently replied. Her response was emotionless and dull, but he didn't want to hear any other answer but this.
The Madam swept her head to look at her son. She knew what he meant, but she never thought he would leave it to the new maid.
"Son-"
"Don't worry, mother. I got this," Richard interrupted.
He knew what his mother wanted to say, but this wasn't the time for her to interfere. She was too soft in matters like these. Only he was capable enough to craft a spy to observe Livida. And what better spy is there than the non-suspicious new maid.
"But this is dangerous!" the Madam exclaimed. She looked at Rebecca before looking back at Richard. "We don't know what Livida will do to her."
"Mother," Richard looked up and said. His eyes were stern and unyielding to the winds blowing his way. "There are many chances in the world and if we keep hesitating, Livida will take it all. It may be dangerous but Rebecca is capable."
