After the carpet was replaced, two maids brought in a brand new tea table, arranged with a vase, wine glasses, ashtrays, and a series of other items...
Over an hour later, the maids left one after another.
"Miss?"

Keira Leaf finally stood up from a distance and spread the newly replaced velvet carpet, placing the piece she had been sitting on earlier by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Keira Leaf got up, fetched a blanket for herself, and sat down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing outside quietly.
