POV: Monte

He heard the two women talking inside the room. He carried Ericka's cellphone, but overheard the older woman asking for it, so he went back, pretending to have just woken up. The older woman knocked on the door. He promptly opened it.

"Yes, Nay, good morning," he greeted with a smile.

"It seems my ward had a good morning," the older woman remarked. "Young master, I'll just get the young lady's cellphone."

"Allow me to get it. I also have something to ask," he said.

"Alright, young master, I'll prepare lunch," the older woman left.

She hums while inside the elevator."Why do you seem so happy?" Ericka whispers."Probably because you became my wife," he responds loudly, making the room boys smile."Shame on you," the woman whispers."What's embarrassing about that?" he replies.
