James turned on his heel and left the room, leaving Nichole alone. As he exited, he made sure to lock the door behind him.
Downstairs, Marian was rummaging through the storage room on the ground floor. She picked up a strange silver mask and an unremarkable black suit, examining them with a puzzled expression—she could hardly remember these being part of James’ wardrobe.
Just then, James descended the stairs and caught Marian in the act of tossing the items out. Frowning, he stepped forward, retrieved the silver mask and black suit, and remarked, "These are mine. From now on, don’t touch anything in the storage room without my permission."
"...Yes, sir," Marian replied, somewhat taken aback.
"And by the way, we don’t need a housekeeper anymore. I want you to go back to the family home and take care of my grandmother. She’s getting older and deserves to spend her days in comfort. Unless I say otherwise, she should stay put at home."
"But sir, that means you'll be the only one here. What about the daily cleaning and upkeep?"
"I'll handle it myself. Just follow my instructions."
"...Yes, sir," Marian said, a hint of reluctance in her voice. She finished her tasks, changed out of her uniform, and left the Burke Estate.
James glanced down at the silver mask in his hands before placing it and the unremarkable suit back in the storage room.
"Sophie, I can’t walk this path with you, but Logan will be there to help you," James thought to himself as he closed the storage room door.
