Let Me Help You

Erin woke up before Daniel, she silenced the alarm so as not to wake him. She had no work today and the staff were due to arrive soon, so she got out of bed and put on some clothes.

Erin stood still for a second and watched Daniel sleep.

He slept leaning against a pile of pillows and his neck lay in an uncomfortable looking angle. She was tempted to fix it for him.

So, she gently pushed his head to face the other way.

He spoke in his sleep saying, "Why me? ... Why not him..."

Erin froze, leaning over him, expecting him to open his eyes, but he continued to sleep.

Phew!

...

She made her way to the living area and saw the butler arrive with the cook and maid.

Fa Shen arrived shortly after, he stood in the doorway and coughed saying, "May I enter?"

The butler looked at Erin for a response, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

Fa Shen entered and stepped closer to Erin, "May I address your staff?" he asked politely.

Erin looked at him hesitantly and said "Okay?"
