You know what, this is probably as good as it gets in terms of a nice ending. So I might just jump ship here and consider this the conclusion.
I dont need a reminder that life is brutal, humans flawed and suffering always behind the next corner.
Im almost hoping this is Matthew drugging him - rather than that he's been hallucinating for multiple chapters and is still with the boss.
MC knows her father throws people under the bus for his ambition and that shes not living up to his expectations. Calling him in, expecting he'd help her save that maid, was a supreme miscalculation.
She seriously needs some character development to be functional in a position that is never entirely unaffected by backstabbery.
But oddly enough Im not complaining. Its absolutely shameful that ML showing up here will turn the tide for her after she stood up for herself as best as anyone could ask her to.
With his personality I was worried he'd beat the Doc half to death. Though we probably haven't seen the worst of it, when it comes to the fallout on this.
Man, i am really considering a break till there is a chapter where Dan actually doesn't have the next worst day of his life.
That was an... interesting choice by the author. Reminds me of Peter Jackson putting half of the Smaug fight into the beginning of the third Hobbit movie.
Creates a weirdass pacing because the cliffhanger is kinda that you dont get to see the cliffhanger.
FL: Lets cut some of these outrageous household expenses. We dont need to act like we're made of money.
Also FL: I'll need a bunch of red roses, I am planning a romantic night of lovemaking and I am sure the maids won't mind cleaning up after I made a completely optional mess.
The problem with these stories is always that the author wants the MC to be humble but also for them to choose to dress like a million bucks and to freely take advantage of servants.
Lol what? If she is doing her job as the future duchess at cutting out unnecessary expenses why does that mean she is not allowed to haviea night purely for her and her partner? And come on it's a few roses scattered and a nice outfit, the maids won't have a huge mess and it's literally their job that gets paid very well to do if I got the vibe right with the story. Her being the FL that is humble and has selfish desires to have a romantic night with her partner sounds like just a normal person and I don't see the problem
Flowers don't cost that much. Are you seriously so broke and jobless that you think they do?
Oh no! Not the flowers! How ever will their budget recover..
