"Am I missing something, Mari? Why did they run away so quickly when they saw me?" Aurora continued to watch the maids running down the halls, muttering something to each other before looking back at where she stood. She hadn't met any of them yet to understand why they would run from her. "Did Vincent tell them not to talk to me?" She hoped that wasn't the case.
"No, it just has to do with your relationship with Vincent. They aren't sure what role you play in his life. Those two believe you will be the future of the house and wish to avoid you so that they won't offend you or Vincent more importantly. Some of the workers here believe you were just a woman brought here for Vincent to, you know…" Mari trailed off, unable to repeat the words said by the workers in the house. If Vincent heard these things, they would be fired.
