In the Sullivan familys house
Mary looked back at the man behind her and knocked on the door.
Mrs.
Sullivan, hes here.
Suddenly, Marias voice came from the inside.

The man wore a peaked cap. He bowed his head slightly after hearing
Marys words, and it was difficult to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Mary fixed her gaze on him. She was going to say something, but after some thought, she decided not to.

woman seated in front of the dressing table. Even on screen, she was undeniably attractive.
The man remained standing in front of the screen and said nothing.
Maria lowered her head and painted her fingernails. She could see the man enter the room through the mirror, but she didnt start to speak until she finished painting her nails.

Maria set the nail polish bottle down, turned around, and peered at the man through the screen.
The man was over 1.8 meters tall. Although they were divided by a screen, she could see that his body was in good shape.
You saved my life, Mrs. Sullivan. Of course, Id return, The man said in a low, raspy voice.
Maria smiled as she took the remote control on the table and pressed the button. The screen rolled up, and she could finally see the man clearly.
Really? Dont you hate me?
No. I dont hate you, Mrs. Sullivan.
