บท 191: What Will You Do?

Lilia just wanted to know the answer to that question. She didn't care about anything else. As long as Merry was on Sasha's side, she would not be able to believe anything that young woman said.

Hearing that question, Merry's eyes widened in surprise. Then she shook her head so hard that her braid twisted like a windmill.

"Not! Of course not!" Merry answered quickly, "I swear that I became your assistant of my own accord! Aunt Sasha doesn't even know that I work for you!"

Lilia was silent for a moment as she tried to process Merry's words. She realized that there was something important in the young woman's words.

But Merry took Lilia's silence as a sign that the woman didn't believe her. She continued in a panic, "If it weren't for Aunt Sasha seeing me at the studio last night, she wouldn't have known I was with you! If only I had stayed in the changing room, this would not have happened…" Merry's voice faded at the end of her sentence.
