The Obsessive Maniac Is Trying To Confine Me

Chapter 41



It was when I came all the way to the door to give Richard’s meal.

 “Rosie!” 

 Someone called me up.

 I looked at the man with puzzled eyes. It’s a face that I don’t know, but who is it? 

 …if I look closely, it looks familiar.

 The worries didn’t last long. When I remembered who the man was, I looked at him with a cold expression on my face.

 The man who flirted with me during the Marie incident.

 He was so obsessed with me, I wouldn’t have known that there were fruits in the meal if Richard hadn’t informed me.

 This guy’s name is—.

 “Derrick-ssi, what’s going on?”

 Derrick. I think that’s the name—.

 “I’m Eric, Rosie.”

 “Ah…”

 Eric looked upset when I got the name wrong.

 “Who is Derrick? What kind of guy is he for you to confuse me with?”

 “What are you talking about? I mean Eric-ssi. You must have heard Derrick because my pronunciation was bad.”

 “Oh, really?”

 Eric, who had been angry, quickly subsided. It’s very easy to handle.

 “If you don’t have anything, leave me alone.”

 “I heard you became an exclusive maid?”

 “…So?”

 “I’m here to comfort you.”

 Who do you think you are to comfort me?

 Ever since I met Eric, I’ve been asking people around me about his relationship with Rosie.

 I was worried that the two were in a relationship, but fortunately or unfortunately, Eric was only on one side flirting.

 “Thanks for the comfort. Can you move away from me now?”

 As I was about to pass Eric, he suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder.

 I look up at Eric, startled by the unexpected touch, and he rubs my shoulder and smiles an inconsistently friendly smile.

 Are you crazy?

 “Rosie, you’re having a hard time because of that monster…” 

 “It’s hard. And it’s harder because you’re blocking me. Get out of my way.”

 No matter how many times I said it, he ignored my words and continued to spit out what he wants to say, and I became very annoyed.

 I’m already in a bad mood to be an exclusive maid.

 “Rosie, you’ve changed. You didn’t do this to me before.”

 He’d been troubling Rosie all this time, hadn’t he?

 I hated the person who repeated the same behavior even though I refused.

 I have no choice but to cut it off with a single knife.

 “Do you want me to show you a different side of me? For example, I can show you a violent side.”

 I guess Eric’s pride was hurt.

Ha!

And he exhaled. Then he looked at me with a mean face.

 “You will regret it.”

 What nonsense.

 What power do you have?

 I passed Eric and entered Richard’s room.

 Richard looked at me with displeasure if there was anything unpleasant like me.

 The blue eyes that felt cold as if they were immersed in the sea are unusually hot today.

 I put the meal down in front of him and asked sullenly.

 “Do you have anything to say to me?”

 Richard smiled deeply like a wolf who saw the opportunity as if he had waited.

 “Who’s that fruit fly?”

 “Fruit fly 2.” 

 “Fruit fly 2? Then who is fruit fly 1?” 

 “What do you mean who? It’s you.” 

 “Ha…” 

 Richard burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.

 His mood seemed to have subsided even more.

 Either way, I sat away from Richard and waited for him to finish his meal.

 I got bored of waiting, so I pulled out the hairpin I got as a gift before coming here and messed around with it.

 When was the time I received the gift?

 So in Korea—.

 Strangely, the memories in Korea were foggy. Why?

 I haven’t been here for a long time.

 “…I haven’t seen it.”

 The question in my head was completely destroyed by Richard, who broke the silence.

 “What happened today?”

 “What do you mean what happened?”

 “You don’t usually wear hairpins, do you? So I was wondering if there was someone you wanted to look good with.”

 Someone I want to look good with. 

 There couldn’t have been such a thing as I wanted to leave this mansion as soon as possible.

 “Do you have a crush on someone?”

 Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?

 It was a series of personal questions from before.

 I seriously think about using a candy chance. But I decided to change the subject.

 “I’ve become the exclusive maid.”

 Richard’s eyes widened in surprise. Soon he frowned.

 …do you hate it that much when I became the exclusive maid?

 “Who is it?”

 “What?”

 “Looks like that damn Marquis has finally made you his exclusive maid.”

 “….”

 No, I became your exclusive maid—.

 Should I explain this or not? 

 “It would be great if I could become the Marquis’s exclusive maid, but unfortunately i’m not.”

 “Then what kind of brat..”

 “You are that brat.”

 “….” 

 At that moment, Richard’s wrinkled face was relieved.

 His face, which even smiles, is quite shameless.

 Do you want me to hit you?

 “I should call you exclusive maid now.” 

 The naming is pretty quick.

 “Call me whatever you like.”

 “I like you to be my exclusive maid, but you look like you’re going to die.”

 …If you escape, my neck will fly away. Is it good for you?

 “I knew it. Unrequited love is also difficult.”

 Since when did you have a crush on me?

 “Maid.”

 It seemed that Richard had finished his meal.

 I was about to take the dishes with the intention of leaving the table when Richard said something.

 “I’m constantly anxious.”

 Another weird sound.

 *****

 After delivering Richard’s meal, today’s work was finished.

 I went straight back to my room and got the rest I wanted.

 It was such a late night. I realized one fact.

 “My hairpin.”

 Realizing that the hairpins were gone, I hurriedly searched the room.

 There was only dust coming out of the room.

 I calmly recalled my memory and thought about where I had left my hairpin.

 I think I touched it when I bring Richard’s meal last time—.

 Damn it. It must have been dropped there. 

 ‘I’m going to get it tomorrow.’

 I felt uncomfortable, but I was going to sleep now and promise to take it tomorrow. 

 (Shh. Actually, when you turn the pin, the knife is hidden.)

 When I remembered the words of my fellow maid, I woke up right away.

 I need to get a hairpin now.

 I sighed and got up from my seat.

 I left the room and crept down the dark hallway.

 The maids’ dormitory was not well soundproofed, but I didn’t want to disturb the sleepy people by making a noise.

 It didn’t take long for me to sneak out of the dormitory and enter the main building.

 In the middle of the night, the house was dark, so I look around to find the basement.

 Someone came up from the basement.

 It took some time for me to recognize it because it was dark.

 It was the man who was looking around in the hall when she went to get Richard’s meal.

 ‘Why are you here at this hour?’

 He was a suspicious person.

 No way—.

 ‘Why is nobody there?’

 I groaned in an ominous feeling and pulled the door that had kept Richard locked in.

 Kiiik.

 “what? Why is this just open?”

 “…Maid?”

 As I muttered in surprise outside, Richard raised his head and looked at me.

 I looked at Richard in the dark.

 The blue eyes that found me in the dark basement sparkled.

 Richard looked at me with an ecstatic smile.

 “What are you doing at this hour?”

 “…”

 “But there’s no one guarding the outside. It’s just the two of us.”

 Richard smiled softly as if he was very satisfied with that fact, but I was a little wonder.

 …No way, he’s not going to escape right? 

 “I guess he’s away for a while. he’ll be here soon.”

 So don’t even think about running away.

 “Okay. Then we should hurry up and enjoy the secret meeting of love affair until the doorkeeper comes.”

 “…What, love affair?” 

 “Okay, maid. Come here.”

 When he showed his teeth and laughed like a beast, I wanted to run away. I shouldn’t have come.

 I should pick it up when the meal duty tomorrow.

 “… I came to take my hairpin. Is my hairpin there?”

 “Ah.”

 Richard showed me the hairpin in his hand.

 “Maid, if you came to get this, you should come inside.”

 “…”

 “As you can see, I can’t go out.”

 I wanted to step back in an awkward feeling. But since I came this far, I had to take my hairpins with me. 

 I wanted to step back in an awkward feeling. But since I came this far, I had to take my hairpins with me.

 “…Now give me back my hairpin.”

 Contrary to what I was worried about, Richard gently handed over the hairpin.

 “Are you leaving now?”

 “I can’t stay here the whole time.”

 “See you tomorrow, maid.”

 No, I don’t want to see you.

 After picking up the hairpins, I went out of the basement without looking back.

 It was as if I could hear Richard’s faint laughter.

 *****

 What’s wrong with him?

 He almost broke the restraints and rushed to the maid while losing his reason.

 No, it’s not a maid anymore, but an exclusive maid.

 It was good news for Richard.

 Sometimes he would think that when he saw Rosie’s cold attitude.

 It was after his first attempt to escape that her attitude became cold.

 ‘Should I not have escaped?’

 If so, would she have been as friendly as before?

 It was a crazy idea.

 He doesn’t know why he cares so much about such a woman.

 He looked at the hairpin that had left his hand with regret.

 The hairpin smelled like Rosie, and he felt better when he had it.

 “Why did you drop it so badly. Maid.”

 The way he spoke seemed to blame, but a deep smile was built around Richard’s mouth.

 

The brief meeting stimulated Richard’s desire. He wants to break the restraints and go out to meet Rosie.

 So he looked sadly at the place where Rosie had left.

 Soaked in the lingering sound, Richard opened his fist and opened the note given to him by the first visitor before Rosie came.

 [I can help you escape.]
