"Help me, Ms. Juliet." Lily cried, holding unto her tightly. "I can't do it anymore."
Ms. Juliet was shocked to see Lily in such state and she quickly brought her into manor.
"Come here, child." She pulled her to the kitchen and made her sit on a stool. Then she offered her a glass of water which she downed in a gulp.
Lily seem to calm down a little and she wiped the tears on her cheek.
"So tell me, what's wrong?" Ms. Juliet asked, sitting across from her and holding Lily's hands in hers.
Lily hiccuped and looked around, feeling restless. Some of the maids had lingered behind discreetly, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Even though Ms. Juliet had motioned for them to leave the area, they had looked for ways to still linger back.
"Can we go to your room?" She asked Ms. Juliet nervously.
