Bab 29: Under the roof of vampires

Lady Annalise hadn't expected this human to be greedier. If Vincent wasn't the one to hire the governess, she would have drained the woman's blood out of her body and let it rot in the forest. 

"You are cleverer than I thought you to be," Lady Annalise held a strong distaste in her mouth because she wasn't someone who bothered herself with the poor class, lest talk to them. "I will double the sum of money," smirked the woman. 

Eve stared at the woman, who stared right back at her. 

"I appreciate your generous offer, but I am a governess you cannot afford," Eve's words were nothing less than a verbal slap to the wealthy woman, where the earlier smirk fell from her face, and it was replaced by anger. 

Eve had other motives, which didn't solely concern money. But Eve's refusal only made Lady Annalise believe that the human had stepped into the mansion with ulterior motives of gaining more wealth.
