This wasn't her fault, was it? She had already confessed to being a bit clumsy in these situations.

The maid blinked, a confused look on her face. "Sir, we don't have any cats, do we?" "A stray," Collin replied smoothly. "It scratchedand then bolted." "Oh, I see. That's quite a naughty stray," the maid commented, completely unaware of the true culprit.

She turned back, her voice hesitant. "What is it?" "I'll have someone drive you to work," he said firmly.
"There's no need for that. I can go by myself," Linsey replied hastily, shaking her head.
Collin, however, was adamant. "No. Today... it might not be the best idea for you to drive yourself." Linsey frowned, confused. "Why not?" Collin paused, then glanced pointedly at her legs. "Are you sure about that? Your legs seemed a bit wobbly when you got up just now." Collin's words sent a fresh wave of heat to Linsey's cheeks, her blush deepening.

Frustration bubbled up inside her. Linsey glared at Collin, her voice laced with annoyance. "How cyou're perfectly fine, and I'm the one..." She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence, and added stubbornly, "I don't need a ride anyway!" With that declaration, she turned and stormed off.
But the moment she turned away, she winced.
"Damn it," she muttered under her breath. "It hurts again." I Why did she feel like she had run a marathon? Collin, still seated at the table, chuckled. He subtly gestured to one of his subordinates.

"What's with them this morning? Something's off." "Mrs. Riley seems upset." "And look, Mr. Riley's mouth is hurt. We don't have any cats, do we?" "Could it be... Mrs. Riley bit him?" "Oh my gosh, did they have a fight?"
An older maid, overhearing the whispers, chuckled knowingly m "Alright, alright, stop with the gossip," she said. "You don't understand. This is a good thing." "A good thing?" the others echoed, confused.

The younger maids giggled excitedly. "I hope they're always this happy." "They will be!"
