Drawn by the sound of a gentle slide, Agustin peered down at a light brown envelope that laid on the dark spruce office table. He's seen these many times in his life. And as usual, the envelope was stuffed-round with money. His browns immediately furrowed as his toffee brown eyes flickered up, sending a questioning stare through the thin frame of his glasses to the current Duchess of the Fernández family.
"You and Selene have remained here for the past four months, serving without pay," Elisa spoke calmly, glazing the tips of her fingers across the smooth paper material. "This is the least we can offer." She stated, leaning back and crossing her arms with her usual dignified aura.
She wasn't wrong.
Though Agustin had seen these envelopes many times in this lifetime; they have been particularly scarce in these past few months.

Rita almost immediately filed in for a divorce soon after, leaving the mansion without batting an eye at who she formerly called her 'family.' Alejandro, either out of spite or shock, retired from his position as duke at the most chaotic point of his career, disappearing to the country-side of Madrid and leaving Elisa to clean up the mess and tie up loose ends.
