Working in the hot spring room required a mask. After all, the hygiene requirements were high.
Ceres and the other servants put on their masks.
Jamie swaggered in and didn't look at anyone. "I came here in a hurry and didn't tell you in advance. I wonder if I can soak in the hot spring."
Everyone didn't dare to offend Jamie.
"Yes. Please wait for a while. It will be ready soon."
"Alright, I'll go read the magazine first." Jamie sat in the lounge.
Ceres worked with others to fill up the hot spring pool and prepare other things.
Looking at Ceres, who was busy, Jamie couldn't help but mock.
"Someone is born to be a miserable wretch and deserves to serve others for the rest of her life."
The manager quickly reported to Jamie that she could soak in the hot spring.
"I don't like being served by so many people. It's good to leave one behind. You can do it." Jamie pointed to Ceres.
The others were relieved. No one was willing to serve Jamie. If they didn't serve her well, they would lose their lives.
Everyone left except Ceres.
Jamie was soaking in the hot spring while Ceres served her on the side, scooping up water and pouring tea.
Jamie lay on the bed and enjoyed Ceres's massage. After a long time, Jamie got up.
Jamie looked at Ceres and said, "I didn't expect that you had been Johny's wife for several years. Your skills in serving people have improved, instead of regressing."
Ceres's heart skipped a beat.
"Take off your mask. I knew about it."
It was hot in the room. Ceres was about to suffocate under the mask. She took off the mask and glanced at Jamie.
"You don't have to look at me like that. I told you to leave, but you didn't. You deserve to serve people here."
Jamie smiled, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"
Ceres snorted, "What do you think? You ruined my face. How can I go back?"
Jamie laughed out loud, "You are so smart. You knew that you would be abandoned, so you decided not to go back first. Don't be stupid. You can't get rid of the red spot! You won't be able to get it away no matter how long you stay here!"
Seeing that Ceres was calm, Jamie carefully sized her up and circled around Ceres, "You can go anywhere. Why did you come here? Do you want to do something in the Bullock's?"
Ceres snorted again. But this time she didn't speak.
Jamie continued to guess, "You know that I will not let you go, but you barged in and worked in the hot spring room. Are you trying to get my father?"
Ceres pursed her lips and smiled.
Jamie became even more anxious, "Why did you come here? Tell me. I might let you live. Otherwise, I will kill you, like crushing an ant!"
"I came here for nothing but to make a living. What are you afraid of?"
Jamie seemed to have been hit somewhere. "What am I afraid of? This is my home!"
"Really?" Ceres smiled contemptuously.
Jamie had planned to be calm, but when she saw that Ceres was indifferent, Jamie could not sit still.
