Rose couldn't help seeing the difference in status between them. She was his maid and he was her employer. Just by watching from the sidelines, Rose saw that though the soldiers sometimes joked around with Zayne near the time for dinner, they didn't ignore the difference in status.
She felt comfortable around Zayne but was still mindful of his position. It was easy not to feel weird around Zayne as his maid since he didn't make her feel like a servant. Rose hadn't experienced some of the stories Janice told her while working for Zayne which she appreciated.
"Can you tell me what caused you to panic?" Zayne asked, needing to know if someone troubled her or if it was something common.
Rose hesitated at first as it was nothing to her but she did not want to lie to Zayne. "Some of the soldiers have been staring. Some of it is fine as they must be curious about why I am here but others stare and I know what it means. They have not approached me."
