Being Of Service
Upon Rose's return from her overseas studies, she is greeted by the family servant, Stuart. Tragically, Rose's parents passed away, leaving her and Stuart as the joint heirs to the estate. Though Rose suggests they navigate this unusual circumstance independently, Stuart appears offended.
Eventually, they agree to cohabit the house while he tends to her needs. Subsequently, Rose is taken aback to find Stuart hand-washing her undergarments, and his remarks about them leave her uneasy. During a meal, Stuart's attempt to assist her with a napkin placement makes her bristle with irritation, as she dismisses his actions as unnecessary.
One day, as Rose exits the shower, she is startled to find Stuart present, offering her a towel. Feeling violated, she confronts him about his inappropriate behavior. Stuart confesses his desire for her, leaving Rose feeling disgusted and trapped between maintaining her rights to the property and avoiding his advances.
In a shocking turn of events, Stuart proposes relinquishing his share of the estate in exchange for a single sexual encounter with Rose. She is torn between her principles and the allure of sole ownership.
