At seven o'clock, Madeline Carter came.
Amelia Cobb looked at the person who suddenly appeared at the door, slightly stunned.
As she stood up from the desk, before she could call out 'mom', she was greeted by Madeline's inquiring gaze sweeping across the entire room.
As if looking for something, Amelia was rather perplexed.
She didn't understand what Madeline's sudden investigation meant.
Before the mistress could relax her furrowed brow, she saw Madeline turn around and leave again.
Amelia, startled, closed her computer and chased after her, "Mom, what are you looking for?"
"Nothing, just looking around," said Madeline, but there was a definite unease in her casual glance.
Amelia followed Madeline to the ground floor, wondering the whole time. But when she saw the maid's gaze, she understood.
There were people loyal to Madeline in Orchard Garden.
Amelia halted, her dark and introspective eyes fixated on Madeline's back, her fingertips lightly twitching.
