"Eliza, what are you trying to do? You wanna burn my feet?" Water splashed all over Eliza. She clenched the basin, her grip tightening.
Nova smirked triumphantly. "If you want to serve me, then do it properly. Go get more water." Eliza said nothing. She changed the water and brought it back again.
Nova put her feet into the water once more, and without even a second's delay, she kicked it over again. "This water is freezing! Is this for soaking feet? Eliza, you did this on purpose."

She toyed with her crimson nails. "If you dare to displease me, I'll ensure Casper gives you what you deserve." Eliza suppressed the anger building inside her.
Again, she went to change the water. The result was the same; it all ended up on her.
"Eliza, I never thought you'd see the day, huh? The Pinottis are practically gone; if you can't stand this humiliation, you might as well join them." Nova was thoroughly enjoying herself. Every word was laced with malice.
