Volume 1 Chapter 97 Han Luo Needs Guidance (2/2)

Benjamin sat on his bed alone and was still shocked. 'Did I just discover her secret side?' He started to think if he should tell his Young Master or keep it a secret. 'She doesn't look like a bad girl, though. She gets along with everyone and likes animal' Remembering her playing with her pet rabbits, he decided not to tell Mo Yuan.

He subconsciously uttered, ”There is nothing wrong with her. She is just a little mischievous. I think Young Master will like her even if she has that personality.”

”Who? What personality?” someone asked from the doorway.

Benjamin instinctively jumped onto his two feet and looked at the uninvited guest. ”It's nothing, ma'am just talking to myself.” Benjamin cursed himself for talking loudly.

Martha narrowed her eyes. ”I saw Miss Han coming out of the servants' resting area. Did you perhaps meet her?”

”Oh, she came to me for some help. Young Master permitted her to do so,” Benjamin replied. ”Ma'am, I think I need to take some time off in the evening from now on till November. Of course, I'll finish all my work at daytime. No one has to take my job.”

Martha asked, ”Why is that?”

Benjamin declared, ”I have some personal business outside.”

Martha gave him a stern look. ”Can't you tell me what it is?”

Benjamin was still polite when he replied, ”Sorry, ma'am. It's personal.” He didn't want to get on her bad side.

Martha realized that he wouldn't tell her, so she didn't ask further. She nodded and replied, ”Fine, I will let the Madam know.”

”Thank you, ma'am.” Benjamin really appreciated her generosity; it was usually quite hard to get a holiday from her.

Martha then took her leave to go upstairs, where she found Rose serving the dishes. She then went to Mo Yuan's study room, where he heard her knock on his door. The boy told her to come inside.

Martha entered the room and stood in front of his desk. Mo Yuan raised his head to see her and asked, ”What is it?”

Martha announced, ”Lunch is ready, Young Master.”

Mo Yuan was doing his homework. ”Okay, call mom and Ah Luo too.”

”They were already informed,” Martha retorted. She then cleared her throat. ”Young Master, I have something to talk to you about.” Her voice was still stern, but she softened her tone a bit.

Mo Yuan, while not looking at her, questioned, ”What is it?”

Martha politely and patiently said, ”I know you do not like it when I speak about Miss Han, but there is something I must inform you of.”

Mo Yuan stopped writing and gazed at her silently. He was interested to know what she wanted to say about Han Luo.
