“Mr. Han, sorry I’m late.”

“It’s alright. Go change into your uniform—you’ll be taking over Rez’s schedule today. You’ll also be assigned to the guest in the penthouse, since Rez had to go home due to an emergency.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjV8HZhMWN
“The penthouse? You mean the new guest?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AZDw0w2e8
“Yes. Now hurry, they’re waiting,” he said, before leaving in a rush.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQEYSZUjOd
“Alright, Mav. You need the money, so you’d better work hard.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1gmVB5vkL
Mavys slipped into the staff dressing room, tossing her bag into the corner before pulling the crisp white uniform from its hanger. The fabric was cool against her skin as she buttoned it up, smoothing the wrinkles with quick, practiced hands. She tied her hair neatly, glanced at her reflection in the mirror, and gave herself a small nod.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVFVteNjxb
“Alright, Mav. Money first, family matters later,” she whispered under her breath.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOb5QPXmB8
With that, she hurried down the hall, the sound of her polished shoes echoing against the marble floor. The penthouse door loomed tall and imposing as she approached. She steadied her breath and knocked politely.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyH0y3Abvw
Inside, laughter filled the room.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtegoVdSiU
“Dude! I can’t believe you really came!” Luigi exclaimed, slapping Fourth on the shoulder. “And damn, Nico—you’re still hanging around this man? Classic, man, classic!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1fa7gfJHy
“I don’t have much of a choice,” Nico muttered, half amused, half resigned.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaPKmvEW5j
“So, did you find her?” Luigi asked, leaning forward with a grin.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKay9FoR4P
Before Fourth could answer, a knock interrupted the moment. Nico rose to his feet and pulled the door open only to freeze. His eyes widened in surprise as Mavys stood there, dressed neatly in her uniform, her familiar smile softening the formality of her presence.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIR7z42K5D
For a moment, silence fell.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C9q4wL7EC
Nico’s gaze flicked instinctively toward Fourth. The man who had been so casually leaning back a moment ago now sat rigid, his expression stunned, as though the world had tilted. Luigi, lounging on the couch with his usual smirk, actually faltered his lips parting in shock.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XvOTAYf2p
Meanwhile, Mavys did what she always did: she smiled. Warm, professional, composed—the same smile she had offered to countless guests before.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k9Znq4k9Y
But beneath that smile, her heart raced.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0pZyz5CJL
“I think you did,” Luigi mumbled under his breath, still staring at her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKC1NRycIJ
“Hi, uh… good morning, sir,” Mavys began, bowing slightly. “My name is Mavys, but you can call me Mav. I’ll be your assigned staff for today.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjQH0IAucu
“Oh, come in, come in,” Nico said quickly, stepping aside to let her through.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Oi9STdd8
“Good morning. I’m Nico, this here is Luigi, and that’s Fourth.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKYuLwMju0
“Hey, Mavys! Good to see you…” Luigi grinned, raising his brows. “Wait...you work here? Since when?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNTv8Uqdzx
“You’re always partying,” Mavys mumbled without thinking.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCvMABobIg
“I beg your pardon?” Luigi’s eyebrows shot up, feigning offense.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywa98FIhGn
She coughed lightly, her professional smile never wavering. “Oh...I meant to say I was assigned at the ground floor area. That’s probably why you never noticed.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDu6NreAH
Nico smirked at Luigi. “Translation: you’re too busy partying to notice anyone who isn’t holding a drink.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqus1kRDdt
“Hey, that’s slander,” Luigi shot back, though the corner of his mouth twitched with amusement.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpJZa59q2w
Fourth hadn’t said a word yet. His fingers drummed once against the armrest before going completely still, his gaze locked on Mavys as if her sudden appearance had stolen the air straight from his lungs.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg5i7Q5Lvg
“Is there anything I can get you, sir?” Mavys asked, her tone steady, professional.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDZZrOIC2L
“Yes! Yes! Finally! It’s been like forever! We’ve—” Nico suddenly blurted out, only to be silenced when Fourth’s hand shot out and clamped firmly over his mouth.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjSPBJxNyM
“Black coffee. Two sugar cubes. Not too cold, not too hot,” Fourth said evenly, his gaze never leaving Mavys.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPAu0Iedlc
“Beer, Mav,” Luigi chimed in, grinning.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPnAkSgZZW
“Rar—raw—” Nico mumbled into Fourth’s palm, muffled and indignant. When Fourth finally let him go, he coughed dramatically and straightened. “Thank you. I’ll take a mocha. Hot.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUtF5870NJ
“Any food to go with that?” Mavys asked politely, glancing between them.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQy7AkdS8J
“Later,” Luigi replied casually.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb93NeHoZMC
“…Got it.” She gave a small bow before turning on her heel, heading out the door with that same steady composure.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoj32vFCbJ
The door clicked softly shut behind her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhuDUGEPIK
For a long moment, Fourth said nothing. He wanted to speak wanted to ask, to confirm, to reach out but his body refused to move. His throat felt tight, his chest locked.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeN2tQq7xn
Luigi stretched leisurely across the couch, smirking as his eyes darted between Fourth and the closed door. “What’s the matter, Fourth? Cat got your tongue?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapUIRiCcyF
Nico snorted into his mocha order slip, muttering under his breath, “More like Mavys got it.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6a0A3fzGy
Fourth remained silent, his jaw tight, while Luigi leaned forward with a wicked grin. “Ohhh… I see it now. Mister Calm-and-Collected isn’t so calm anymore.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn2HyC7zmF
“Guess I won’t help you anymore,” Fourth muttered at last, his voice low but sharp enough to cut through the laughter.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMVE9IkAFc
Luigi froze for half a second, then broke into an exaggerated grin, waving his hands. “Hey, hey, I was just joking, my friend come on, lighten up! Haha!” He leaned back against the couch, smirk returning. “Besides, on the bright side… Mavys is here. Right?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHirYSoaK5C
He waggled his brows, teasing, while Nico stifled a laugh into his sleeve.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp2fajmGvf
Fourth didn’t answer. His gaze lingered on the door where Mavys had disappeared, his usually unreadable face giving away nothing except for the faint tension in his jaw.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NBIPdpVg
Mavys closed the door softly behind her, the muffled voices inside fading with the click of the latch. She let out a quiet sigh, hugging the tray against her chest.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lkwpx8pvD
“They are weird,” she thought, her lips quirking into a small smile.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheiz06CEp7
But as she started down the hall, the familiar ache pressed against her temple. At first it was faint, just a dull throb pulsing behind her eye. She slowed, steadying herself with a hand against the wall.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdEPlPKeSi
Not again.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk8U7e0jAt
Her migraines had a cruel sense of timing, always striking when she least needed them.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9EoFvg67n
Mavys drew in a slow breath, straightened her posture, and forced her steps forward. The sharp click of her heels on the marble was enough to drown out the pounding in her head at least, that’s what she told herself.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSwgowLOL
“Focus, Mav. Just do your job,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. She adjusted her uniform, smoothed her hair, and pasted the same bright smile she always wore for guests.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pxZDZJjRx
By the time she reached the staff elevator, the ache was still there, clawing at her skull, but she masked it with the same practiced grace. No one would notice. No one ever did.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdek6kWg81j
“Damn life,” she muttered again under her breath, though this time her hand lingered at her temple before she brushed it away as if nothing was wrong.
