"I... I apologise My lady if I have done something wrong." Ruth dared to say for she felt bad, that Elsie was getting scolded like that because of her.
"Apologise? You came here to beg for a position of a head maid when you do not even know the basic mannerisms, such as not sitting beside the elites and always standing up to pay your respect to the people of higher social status.
Have not anyone taught you these things?"
Ruth's eyes widened at the realisation. She hurriedly stood up and bowed her head in front of Eloise.
"Please forgive me, My Lady! I was not aware of these customs." Ruth felt embarrassed and upset with herself.
How could she not think about that?
Eloise scoffed, rolling her eyes. "If you do not have any previous experience then how you get here in the first place?"
Ruth was too scared to match the woman's kohl-lined sharp eyes.
