"I will remember it, Captain. Thank you," I replied and dared a small smile. I was happy that our relationship had been restored. I never expected him to apologize to me. To a maid! I knew I wasn't really a maid, but for him, I was.
But my joy was poisoned by the remorse and guilt I felt for the lie we told. I hadn't imagined it that way. I thought I wouldn't care about lying; all I cared about was running away from the Red Valley. But my feelings changed towards these good people who accepted us and showed so much willingness to help us.
Before we leave the ship with Brielle, and since I would never see him again in my life, maybe I should decide to reveal the truth to him. Maybe. I hadn't made my mind yet, I would think about it, and I would discuss it with Brielle as well.
After he gave me his permission, I got out of his cabin and returned to the kitchen. But I didn't find Jimena alone as I expected.
