"What? How did I?" I acted as usual, but why is he being dramatic?
"Madam, you are so talented," he tells me as if I had solved a tough chess game.

Did I just make the duke look down in front of his employer? I have a feeling that I did.
"Sorry if I did something. But don’t tell this to the duke." I spoke.
"But-"
"I don’t know what you are thinking, but could you please not bring up this topic anymore? I’m not sure what is going on when the duke himself didn’t want me to know, so I don’t think it is appropriate." I said this while checking the documents.
"As you wish, madam," he said, bowing and walking away.
I was still so immersed in the documents, which made me forget about the timing until Yuna knocked on the door.
"Yes?" I answered.
