A knock came at the door.
"Madam?"
Eve, lying on the bed, still in her pajamas, arms clenched around Malakai's coat, lazily blinked her eyes open. She forced herself off the bed and approached the door, opening it to find the maid from early this morning standing with a polite smile on her face.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
The maid handed her a laptop. "The master said I should give this to you. He mentioned something about the lists of his employees." She also gave her a piece of paper. "The password is in there."
Eve lowered her eyes to the laptop.
She asked, "Where is he?"
"Mr. Basti?"
"Yes, my husband."
"Ah…" the maid responded, "He left for work just a few minutes ago."
"I see…" Eve collected the device from her and turned around to walk away, but the maid stopped her.
"Madam, um…a-aren't you going to eat?" she inquired. "I already have breakfast made for a few minutes now, but you don't—"
"What's your name?" Eve asked.
