She spoke quite sincerely, fearful that the other party might reject her, and she spoke cautiously.
The man held a knife and fork, still nonchalantly eating his meal, not showing whether he was listening to Summer Sutton’s words.
Summer Sutton stood stiffly next to him, seeing that he remained quietly focused on his meal and didn’t express any attitude, her heart was anxious.
Several times she had the impulse to lift her face to look at him, but was afraid of offending him, so she suppressed the impulse.
The man beside her continued to dine, and Summer Sutton only heard the clinking of his utensils, without any words from him.
He stayed so silent that Summer Sutton thought it was surely hopeless.
"If this request is difficult for you, then forget it." She turned dispiritedly to head downstairs, but a light remark floated from the man behind, "Tomorrow, I’ll have someone get you a passport."
Summer Sutton halted her steps, her eyes suddenly brightening.
If he said so, does that mean he’s agreed?
Summer Sutton had already arrived overseas, and wanting to return to her country, aside from the money issue, a passport was indeed crucially important.
Without a passport, she wouldn’t even be able to set foot on her homeland.
Moreover, this time she was kidnapped, and it seemed someone didn’t want her appearing in Northtown.
If so, returning openly by herself, she might face danger once she left the airport.
This incident happened so suddenly that Summer Sutton was completely unprepared.
Having suffered so much these past few days, she is now more cautious, considering things more thoroughly.
If this man is willing to help her get a passport, it would be best, with a new identity, she can be safe anywhere.
"I won’t let you keep an extra person for nothing. During this period, I’ll work here for you as the fare to return home, and the living expenses for these few days!" Summer Sutton, particularly grateful to him, returned to the dining table, continuing to serve him.
"What do you like to eat? I’ll help you cut it!"
"Want some wine? I’ll pour it for you!"
"Is the dish getting cold? I’ll help you reheat it!"
Holding a dish chilled by the wind, she was about to leave but was stopped by the man, "Just stay."
"Okay." Summer Sutton paused her steps and put the plate back.
Quietly standing by the table, she accompanied him as he dined.
The man wasn’t talkative, and while Summer Sutton stood beside him, he didn’t ask why she appeared at sea, why she ended up in such a sorry state, or about what she had been through.
If she didn’t bring it up proactively, he wouldn’t inquire.
Summer Sutton stood beside him, her head still bowed low.
She had never served anyone like this, keeping her head lowered for so long without raising it, which was actually quite exhausting.
Summer Sutton had been standing here for less than half an hour, and her neck was already sore as if it might fall off.
At that moment, she suddenly understood those servants in the Walyon Family, realizing how difficult life truly is for everyone.
Standing by the dining table, Summer Sutton’s neck was sore to the point of dislocation.
She couldn’t hold it any longer and raised her hand to rub it, her head slightly tilting as she tried to move around a bit.
Her movement was actually very slight, yet it still caught the attention of the man sitting there.
"I didn’t ask you to speak to me like this." A faint voice came from his direction, emotionless, but very pleasant to hear.
Summer Sutton paused for a moment, instantly realizing what he meant.
He was asking her to lift her head, not to deliberately avoid eye contact with him.
Summer Sutton let out a long breath and lifted her face suddenly—
