The maid had an ashamed look on her face and bowed to Phoenix.
"Young Madam, I have to apologise to you," the maid said.
"Why is that?" Phoenix questioned.
"Young Madam, I criticised you behind your back without knowing anything about you," the maid, Mrs Ting, admitted shamefully.

***Flashback from last night.
Mrs Ting walked with weak steps, following Butler Tiong into the home office. Her head was bowed down, looking at her own feet.
Entering the home office, she walked towards the front of the desk with her hands clasped together in front of her.
Before Ashton could utter a word, Mrs Ting opened her mouth first, "I know why you call me here. I apologised for what I said about Ms Li, Young Master Ashton. Please forgive me. I'll accept the punishment that you'll give me," Mrs Ting said.
Mrs Ting was ashamed of herself when she assumed things about Phoenix.
