The woman's voice rang out above her, soft and melodious, indescribably pleasant to the ear.
"Give me the ring."
Wen Xirou didn't move.
The woman stared at her intensely, repeating once more, "Give me the ring."
Wen Xirou gathered her courage and, pretending to be nonchalant, picked up the severed finger and the ring. However, she didn't hand them to the woman. Instead, she slipped them into her own pocket.
"Found items should be handed over to the superior or the farm owner," she muttered to herself, her voice trembling as she tried to act calm.
Farm Employee Code of Conduct, Rule 5: "Must not leave their posts."
Since she was assigned the task of cleaning the lawn, helping the woman search for the ring would definitely be considered abandoning her post.
Even if she had simply found the ring while cleaning the lawn and handed it to the woman, there was still a high chance it would be deemed as dereliction of duty.
