"Welcome back, Master." Mrs. Deng welcomed Dominic with a smile, taking his briefcase. "How was your day –"

 

"Where are they?" Dominic abruptly stopped the head maid's sentence with his question.

 

"Huh?"

 

"My wife and son. Where are they?" Dominic looked around, but couldn't see even their shadows. 

 

These past few days, that had been his first questions to Miriam. It just so happened Mrs. Deng was the first to welcome him after her time off. 

 

"The young madam and the young master?" Mrs. Deng furrowed her brows. Her cluelessness brought a frown to his face.

 

"Never mind." Dominic didn't dwell on the head maid's obliviousness. He didn't want to waste his energy in talking to her, knowing she had been away because of an emergency in her home.
