Chapter 5

The woman glanced at me. "Are you the housekeeper coming for the interview today?"

I nodded.

As she walked inside, she began giving me instructions.

"Mr. Thorne's previous housekeeper resigned."

"There isn't much to do around the house. Mr. Thorne rarely eats at home, so you'll mainly be responsible for keeping the house clean."

"Oh, and Mr. Thorne doesn't sleep well, so remember to keep quiet."

"There's a locked room on the second floor that you can't enter, remember that. Don't be clumsy; everything in that room is very expensive, and you wouldn't be able to afford to replace it if you broke something."

She led me upstairs for a tour, all the while scrutinizing me. "The housekeeper's room is at the end of the second-floor hallway."

"You look quite young, and your resume shows a high education. Why are you looking to be a housekeeper?"

I was just about to come up with an excuse when she chuckled. "But I've seen plenty of girls like you."

"After all, Mr. Thorne is incredibly eligible. But it's best to hide any improper thoughts you might have."

"Mr. Thorne has very high standards."

I didn't really hear much of what she said afterward. My eyes were fixed on the direction of the master bedroom.

Is Liam… resting now?
