Are You Playing A Prank On Me?

“Why are you here?” Ethan asked.

“Well, why can't I be here?” Nicole rhetorically replied.

“I mean, can’t you eat your breakfast in your own room?”

“Eating alone is not my cup of tea. Also, staying inside my room is boring. I’d rather we talk about the things that we need to watch out for during the Ballroom Party.”

The two maids, Mary and Sue, dutifully placed plates of food on top of the table.

Nicole wished to have breakfast with Ethan, so she asked Sue to come with her to the young man’s room and have her meal set up there.

Of course, Ethan didn’t mind. But he was quite surprised to hear that Nicole preferred to eat with people since he had the impression that the young lady was a lone wolf who liked to do things solo.

“Ethan, let me give you some friendly advice,” Nicole said as she poured honey on the pancake on her plate. “The Asta family can’t be trusted.”

“Understood.” Ethan nodded. “You can’t be trusted.”
