Ethan was taken aback for a moment.
"Damn," he thought to himself as the bow she'd just given made her chest bounce noticeably with the motion.
The way that uniform struggled to contain her figure made it painfully obvious she was blessed in ways he hadn't fully registered before.
"Good morning," he said, quickly moving his gaze away and walking toward the vintage car. Then, he took his place in the backseat.
Valerie waited until Eduardo, who had followed through, took his place in the driver's seat before she entered and sat in the passenger seat.
The car drove out of the manor and made its way onto the street.
Not long after, Valerie opened her mouth to speak. "Thank you once again, Master Ethan, for letting me work for this."
"Hm," Ethan muttered with a nod.
She added, "Thank you as well for still putting me under a payroll, even though you shouldn't have."
He turned to look at her for a moment through the rearview mirror, then nodded again.
