Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

How many hours has it been that the guest she was warned to care for by the butler hasn’t eaten? She loves her job and doesn’t want to be fired.

Being under master Maverick means an automatic protective shield in this hell of a country, so the young maid was frightened by the thousands of bad thoughts running through her mind.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Bang, bang, bang!”

“Ma’am, please open the door!”
