The Inherited Butler [GB]

Sylvia swore she wanted to lie flat. That's why she left her job as a mechanical drafter, took a train far from the clamor of machines in the big city, and came to an old manor in a remote town. But she never expected that inheriting the small manor from her uncle would also mean inheriting its butler. And this butler is the most difficult person she has ever met. To live in peace, Sylvia has no choice but to accommodate his many demands. She gets used to having her meals and daily routine arranged, adjusts to her new role as mistress of the manor, and returns to her old drafting work for the townspeople... She even helps him escape the control the head household has held over him for years. But why does he still look at her like that?! Meanwhile, beneath butler Ed's impeccable appearance: I want Miss Sylvia to hug me. I want Miss Sylvia to comfort me. I want Miss Sylvia to praise me. I want to be Miss Sylvia's butler forever...
