Stealing Spree-Novel

Chapter 1173: A Little Help

We agreed with only the tip. However, given that Rae positioned herself on top of me, we almost did it again when the girl finally tried to put it in and gradually lowered herself to it.

It slipped in fairly easily because of the few instances we also reached the same point. And because of that, it didn’t take long for me to reach and hit the thin membrane that was blocking my way in.

And with how sensitive that was for the girl, Rae immediately frowned in slight pain. It also became the indicator that we reached our limit.

I dragged her down and eased that pain by focusing her mind elsewhere; another set of intimate kisses.

Truthfully, both of us were more than tempted to push through and finally do it. We’ve been waiting for too long, especially Rae. She already witnessed the other girls doing it with me on multiple occasions. Even if she said that it was fine and she could wait, there should still at least be a small drop of envy.

Soon after we’re finished, I watched Rae change into her house wear. Although it’s a normal and rather cutesy pink camisole as well as a pair of cotton pants that looked a little loose, the girl still came off as comfy yet sexy. The source of this content is NoᴠelFɪre.net

I walked in her direction as I couldn’t help myself and held her tight, spending another few minutes enjoying the girl’s comfy look.

A while later, we went down the stairs, only to be met by Yoko-san who was about to ascend it.

The woman immediately bowed and said, “The dinner is ready, ojou-sama.”

Rae squeezed my hand, an indication of how nervous she was. Confronting the woman to finally get the truth out of her mouth might’ve been what we planned, however, now that she’s in front of her, Rae just couldn’t muster the courage to open it up.

I squeezed her hand back and led her downstairs until we were in front of the woman.

Honestly, the maid, Yoko-san, had never paid attention to me. Not when we arrived and not when Rae tried to introduce me.

Even now, her actions were all focused on Rae. Perhaps, it’s just her work ethic. However, it’s clear enough that for the woman, it’s all about Rae.

“Yoko-san.” Rae started. She took a step forward, lifting the woman’s head.

However, instead of looking at her, the woman averted her gaze as though she was trying to avoid eye contact with Rae.

“Won’t you at least look at me? We’ve been living together in this mansion and not once have you looked me in the eye and acted like how you were before…”

Right. Rae told me about that. Normally, an employee should at least maintain a cordial relationship with her boss, right? However, although she’s doing the tasks that would sustain their day-to-day life, the woman remained distant. ????????????r????????d.＆nbsp;c????m

From that, it’s really too eye-catching how much she’s avoiding Rae.

Seconds later, the woman still didn’t answer Rae. She closed her eyes instead, hoping that Rae would stop soon.

Helpless, the girl glanced at me. Her eyes conveyed her frustration as well as her call for help.

Well, the same as the woman, I also haven’t even tried communicating with her. I might’ve observed her actions but my focus remained on Rae.

But now that it comes to this… I was forced to. No. Forced sounded too aggressive.

This was to help the girl reconnect with her older sister figure.

“Yoko-san, is it? Actually, I’ve heard the story from Rae. This will sound intruding but do forgive me for asking… are you running away from someone?”

When I finished, the first one to react to that was none other than Rae. She looked at me with a puzzled expression. She knew that what she told me wasn’t enough to arrive at that conclusion. She also never thought of that possibility.

Besides, when she tried finding out about the woman’s family, it turns out she was orphaned for a long time now. She got adopted by a close relative. At the same time as she showed up in the mansion to serve, her adoptive parents went missing. Or rather, they either disappeared or went off-grid, leaving her behind.

Even with Rae’s knowledge, that’s all she could dig without connections. And from that, there’s really nothing pointing to what I just asked.

In any case, I pressed on. Using my previous way of getting an answer from a girl, I stepped forward and entered Yoko-san’s personal space.

While Rae stood at her front, I directly pressed on the side where her head was turned.

Perhaps sensing the presence so close to her, the woman opened her eyes slightly.

As soon as she caught sight of me, the woman seemingly narrowed her eyes as though she was looking at someone unsightly before quickly turning her head to the other side.

Whether it’s a sign or not, it doesn’t really matter. But it’s clear that she’s just being difficult. She didn’t want to say anything but at the same time, she couldn’t bring herself to walk or run away.

Rae was stubborn, yes. However, she wasn’t persistent. She’s not like Otsuka-senpai who wouldn’t stop until her curiosity was more or less satisfied or there’s a promise to answer it another time.

Rae would give up if she deemed it hopeless. And that’s why she always failed to make the woman open up to her.

I guess it’s a good idea that she let me stand with her rather than observe from afar. I can use my method to crack the woman open.

After relaying to Rae what I wanted to do and she granted me permission as long as it wasn’t going to bring harm to the woman, I made my move.

As Rae took a step back to watch from the side, I stepped in closer and reached for the woman’s shoulder.

This time she didn’t make a peep or reacted strongly at all. She remained unmoving. However, even through her clothes, I could feel her skin turning a bit colder as she started to get nervous.

Nonetheless, she stood firm.

I repeated my question a few times and even phrased it differently but to no avail. But that’s fine. My method wasn’t really the one that was going to crack her open.

As seconds passed, the situation turned to a standstill.

From holding her by her shoulder, I soon acted rather boldly by grasping her wrist and pressing her lean back, locking her close to me. It looked like we were going for a dance. However, this proved to be her breaking point.

The woman soon turned to me with a hateful glare as she bit her lips in frustration. Furthermore, albeit minimal, her eyes started shaking as though at any moment, she could go berserk on me for putting my hands on her.

Anyway, that’s the goal.

At this point, I sent the signal and Rae, who was just watching at the side, ran to our side and forcefully squeezed in between us. Using her full force, she grabbed the woman’s wrist and pulled her away from my grasp. And at the same time as that, she pushed my chest to completely separate the woman from me.

In an anger-filled voice, she shouted at me,

“Ruki, you never said you’re going to go that far! I asked for your help not to harass her!”

“That… You said I can do anything—”

“Stop! Please, can you leave us alone for a moment? Go back to my room or something. I’ll deal with you later.”

“Alright. I’m sorry if I push it too far…” I raised my arms in surrender before turning around and going back upstairs.

Well, it’s a simple act and rather too obvious. However, with only the three of us here as well as the fact that Yoko-san never put me in her eyes, it should be rather believable.

This was like playing good cop, bad cop to establish who’s her ally in this situation.

When I reached the top and glanced back at them, Rae was now hugging Yoko-san as she guided her outside of my view. As for the woman, she’s still trembling and with how she’s gripping Rae’s clothes tightly, it looked like I managed to trigger something more than what we were expecting.

We’re successful. It’s now up to Rae to follow up on what I did.

I returned to her room like she said and planned to wait there. While doing so, I checked my phone.

As always, I was flooded with messages from my girls. Also, I found two messages from new senders; the Miura siblings.

“I’m sorry if this will be my first message to you but are you not coming to convince Komoe again?”

“Hey, are you lying when you said you’re coming again to convince me?”
