“Come to think of it, the body size and hair length seem to be the same…”

My uncle tilted his head towards me as if my silence was suspicious.

“Hey, what’s your name, lady?”

My heart was pounding in two. What should I do? Did he find out it was me?

When there was no response from me, my uncle finally began to take a step closer to me.

“Stop, don’t bully my subordinates.”

“Oh, you were a subordinate. She resembles my niece so much that I don’t even know… May I ask when you started working?”

“I’ve been working for a month.”

“I see. But why are you lying down like this at work?”

My uncle was asking with almost certainty. Even though he was an uncle who was not interested in raising children, there was no way he could not recognize his bloodline after being with him for decades. I seriously thought about slamming his head like this and running away.

“She’s sick. It’s best not to get close to her since it’s a contagious disease.”

Cesare’s unstoppable words made my uncle suspicious, but he didn’t come any closer to me. It was really pitiful to see how precious my life was.

“Yes, I would like to thank you. I hope you find hwe.”

“We will do our best. Please. Goodbye.”

Watching Cesare, who resolutely gave a congratulatory order, my uncle gritted his teeth. But what can he say to the lord Cesare? My uncle stared at me as I lay down, then boldly walked away.

Thud. Even after the sound of the door closing, I couldn’t raise my head for a while. Then Cesare called me softly.

“Get up. It’s still working hours.”

“Yes.”

“You have to get up.”

I got up, covered in tears and a runny nose. Cesare, who had been looking at me involuntarily, looked at me with a blank expression.

“Wow?”

Cesare’s attitude was just that. Hey, wow?

“Okay, ah, no. I didn’t cry.”

That’s what I said, but it wasn’t too bad. After two days, she was caught by her uncle. It won’t take more than two hours for Laim to figure out where I am. Maybe she will  get kidnapped at night. Even if I’m lucky enough to fill 7 days, there might be a Virgin Road on my way out. As I thought of the dark future, tears flowed down my cheeks.

Cesare’s expression darkened at the sound of crying. He got up from his seat and started to approach me. Only then did I realize that his coat was soaked with my tears and runny nose.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. What to do……”

Embarrassed, I wiped my tears using the coat of my sleeves.
