บท 118: Bribe or Gift?

"Red"

A soft smile appeared on Ale's lips as he uttered that word.

Hearing that word coming out of Ale's mouth, along with the expression on his face, the butlers smile disappeared.

The carefree, jolly attitude that was surrounding him vanished and his expression became as emotionless as humanely possible.

"What's wrong?"

Alice asked, suddenly sensing the change in atmosphere.

"Ah! It's nothing. Sorry for grabbing you like that."

Ale let go of the waiters hand as if nothing was wrong and smiled.

"Ahaha! That's fine, young master! I guess you were intrigued by the garter on my arm?"

The waiter laughed and shoved the entire issue under the rug. He even tried to show off his muscle as he was showing off the belt.

"Yeah. It looks pretty cool."

Ale replied, focusing back on his food.

"Hmm? Do ya have a thing for belts, Ale?"
