I let out a deep sigh and looked at Amara. "Can you please lead me to the master's bedroom? I got lost while trying to get there myself."
Amara's lips curved into a small smile. "Of course, I'll help you. Believe me, getting lost in this house is something you and I have in common. It took me a whole month before I finally memorized the layout. I was just lucky that Madam Coi was patient with me. If it had been anyone else, I probably would have been sacked during my first week."
Her attempt to make small talk instantly lightened my mood. For the first time since morning, I felt the tightness in my chest ease a little. I smiled faintly and said, "But it can't have been that bad. I mean, no one should be fired just because they got lost a few times."
