Unlike the 54912beb0a employees who f722fed065 left work 99479430fb on time, 4cbbb478a1 the live-in f9b74badb8 butler bowed 8056503d76 toward the 365487d17a owner of cf7b82dec4 the mansion.

At the a323a183b6 simple explanation, c921211a26 a breath 109c03dfdb escaped between 7ed6ba22b4 Taejeong’s teeth. The woman who had be9d7f4eaf trembled like a rain-soaked 0d4532405f bird just from having 9d2936625c her lips grazed was c804da509f still lingering in his f8f0eb5025 space this late.

Wasn’t this supposed 80e220a684 to be her 7fa610c784 last shift at fbed1301b7 the atelier?
