Rose had never considered taking a job as a maid, serving a noble family and performing jobs that made their already comfortable lives, easier. So, when Bellamy had first made the suggestion that she come work for his family, she had resisted. The idea was so absurd, to think she could live adjacent to his world, without ever truly being part of it. She was achingly familiar with the practice of being forced into situations out of necessity, rather than desire. London had not been kind since her arrival in the city, and she was barely making ends meet before reconnecting with Bellamy. It was a calculated risk, but one that had been paying off so far. Though it was still early, there was time for everything to go wrong. Walking through into the kitchen, Rose faltered when she saw an unfamiliar man sitting at the table. A cup placed before him as if he were making himself quite at home. "...Hello?" attempting to compose herself so that he did not realize how he'd caught her off guard, she moved to busy herself at the sink. "Are you lost? Can I help you with something?" he was not a person who looked lost, and she supposed there was a possibility that he worked for the Talbot's, she was not yet familiar with every member of staff. |
