Okay there is no way I can work like this, I don't even know if he has noticed but I have not done one single brushstroke since he has came in here. He is literally staring at me and his eyes keep wandering, it is super creepy. Pervert. I guess I'll just give up now since I cannot get the walls done at this pace.
I got off the chair I had been kneeling on, I started putting my things away properly.
"Are you leaving?"
I turned to him, "Yes." I deadpanned.
I was doing it at quite a fast pace but apparently he wanted to piss me off even more.
"Let me help you." He started moving towards me.
"No, I've got it." I grabbed the rest of my things.
I walked out in the hallway to see the mess I had made with moving everything outside, guess I'll put them in the sitting room right next door. We have a ton of extra rooms, but we were nobles and its all for appearances, so we don't require the servants to clean the outer rooms. As I was moving things into the room I noticed him staring at me again.
I turned on him, "Do you need something?" I hissed at him.
"Well I would like to help you, but you would probably get mad at me again." He smiled.
"You guessed right." I went back to my work.
It only took a couple of minutes for me to get everything in the room, by the end of it I was sweating a little at the humidity of the room. I puffed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off of my forehead. I looked to tell him to leave, but I froze when I saw his eyes in cat slits and they were that pinkish color. What is he thinking!
"Umm." I interrupted the silence.
He came back to his sense and his eyes changed back to normal, "Yes?" He said with a pleasant smile.
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
He hesitated, "You are not wearing a corset."
Thank you captain obvious, "And?"
"Well your... sweat... makes it a bit se through." He said letting his eyes wander.
I turned into a tomato, "Quit it!" I yelled and ran out of the room.
I really needed to change since apparently I invited a horny demon to our house, man why did I di that again? Oh that's right, because I'm an idiot and wanted to cause trouble for the earl. Gosh for all I know he could be thinking about rapping me. Kyaa that's so scary! He could pull it off to since he is way stronger than me. I was soon in my room and changing into a new dress that was not that different from the last one, but he made me super self conscious so I couldn't just leave it.
I went down to lunch to find my sister and Gregory already there, I sat down and started eating without a word. Not long after Sebastian came in, great that didn't make it suspicious at all! I turned to my butler before he could ask anything, I turned back into Maria.
"Gregory, when are we scheduled to meet with the Duke of Manton and Baron Whelps?"
He turned to me like normal, "You are scheduled to meet with the Duke of Manton this Tuesday and Baron Whelps is not till next week."
"I need the documents for Manton, he needed the stock prices and the output."
"May I ask why?"
"He said it was to help with our products, then he told me that he also needed our keys and codes for them. All for the good of the company." My voice turned dark near the end of what I was saying.
Gregory gave me a knowing look, "Of course, I will see to it that everything will be ready and taken care of." Well that definitely double meaning.
Sebastian acted as if he didn't get it at all and stood off to the side with a fake smile. I hate that smile. I left my food half uneaten.
"Mistress are you not hungry?" Gregory asked, his voice laced with concern.
"No, I'm not, please see to it that this mess is cleaned up." I walked down the hall briskly to my office. When I got there I quickly started going through my files, I looked up the Duke of Manton, he had a wife and two kids, almost looked like the perfect fatherly type. I then took out the folder that had what he was really up to, it showed him stealing from me and hanging around with a bunch of harlots. What a disgusting man, I really hate some men. In my past I had a man that barely knew me try and propose to me, it was even at a public event. It was considered quite a scandal when I turned him down so bluntly, probably because in this time women are suppose to get married and nothing else. I really don't like men, there all pigs who need to learn how to control themselves. Well there is that one man whom I like, if none of this had ever happened I bet would have tried to marry him, too bad he never cared for me in that way. I was basically like his little sister.
I am getting off topic, I need to focus on this Manton guy that thinks he can go behind our backs and think he can get away with it. I don't know how our servants dispose of the people that we tell them to, but one time I heard a yell. I think it might have been Margret's fault for that one, she does have quite the dark side to her.
I think this time I will take care of this man personally, after all I am the one who hired him about year ago.
