Chapter37
In the bedroom on the second floor, when I came here again, I suddenly had a feeling that it was like two lifetimes.
The soft bed was a little messy.
That was the place where Edmund and I used to live together.
Countless times, I woke up from this bed, but I never thought that one day, this bed might welcome a new hostess.
There was an ashtray on the bedside table, in which there were several extinguished cigarette
I don’t remember that Edmund has the habit of smoking. At least, he has never smoked in front of me.
But now, looking at those cigarette butts, I can’t help wondering why he smoked?
In a bad mood?
Or something else?
Then I realized that I thought too much.
What does it have to do with me whether he smoke or not?
Now I’m just his butler. There’s no need to pay too much attention to his private life.
After pouring the ashes into the trash can, I turned around and went to the bathroom to wash them. Then I wiped the water stains on them with a duster cloth and was about to put them on the bedside table. However, aI changed my mind. I didn’t know why, but I casually put them under the bedside table.
After tidying up the bed sheet and quilt, I began to wipe the whole bedroom with a duster cloth.
Because of my previous experience in the Housekeeping Department of the club, I sorted out the rooms very quickly, so before long, the rooms were almost cleaned.
I went to the bathroom and took out the clothes he had changed from the washing basket. On the white shirt, a faint smell of cologne mixed with the unique smell of his body came to her nose.
I’m very familiar with this smell, but I don’t have it anymore.
Walking out of the bathroom, I was about to go downstairs to the washing room, but I didn’t know when Edmund came upstairs and was changing clothes in front of the wardrobe.
In front of the big dressing mirror, he was selecting a shirt with his upper body naked.
His strong muscles and perfect back line shone in the sunlight outside the window, as if they were giving off seductive light.
I always know that he has a good figure.
If it was in the past, I would have walked over to his chest and acted like a spoiled child.
But now, I only have a look from a distance and no longer dare to raise my head.
In order not to let him find her, I deliberately slowed down and wanted to leave quietly.
“Stop!” However, as soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, I heard the voice of Edmund.
At this time, he had chosen a shirt and was putting it on.
I stopped and turned around stiffly, but still didn’t look at him. I lowered my eyes and asked, “Mr. Edmund, what can I do for you?”
“Come here.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
My expression froze slightly. I put down the washing basket in my hand and slowly walked towards him.
Standing behind him, I didn’t ask him why he asked me to come here. He reached out, picked a tie from the drawer and put it in my hand. “Help me tie it.”
I looked up at him in astonishment.
Why did you ask me to do this for no reason?
“You can’t?” Seeing me standing still, he asked while buttoning up his sleeves.
Nodding, I really can’t.
I’m not a real housekeeper. How could I wear a tie?
What’s more, the intimate behavior of a thin tie is not what we should do in our current relationship.
I thought he would let me go.
But unexpectedly, after thinking for half a second, he said, “let me teach you.”
“…” who wants to learn?!
My expression is somewhat resistant.
“It’s a qualified housekeeper’s duty to meet all the master’s needs.” He said in a businesslike tone.
I frowned and did not refute.
He took the tie from me and tied it around his neck. Then he grabbed my hand and asked me to hold the tie.
The moment he grabbed my hand, I felt as if a current was directly transmitted into my heart from between my fingers, causing my originally calm heart to instantly beat violently.
“Reserve the length of the tie, and then…” he patiently taught me to wear the tie.
Finally, he tied his tie. He looked down at me and said, “you’ve learned it?”
I was not in the mood to learn to tie carefully. When I heard his question, I was stuck there and didn’t know how to answer.
“You haven’t learned? Let’s do it again.” He was patient now and was about to take off his tie.
I don’t want to experience that kind of suffering again, so I nodded immediately. “Yes… I know.”
He raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, “Miss Leanna, you are really smart. From now on, I’ll leave it to you.”
What did he mean?
Do I have to be so close to him every morning?
Oh my God! Kill me!
Edmund changed his clothes and went to work. I sat on the balcony on the second floor, watched the video and tried my best to wear a tie.
I know it’s a problem that Edmund left to me on purpose, but it’s useless to know. Under the eaves, I can do nothing but be obedient?
i made lunch at noon and called Edmund, only to know that he would not come back for lunch.
In order to avoid such a situation happening again, I called Oarlan early at three o’clock in the afternoon to ask him about Edmund’s schedule, but was told that Edmund would go abroad at four o’clock in the afternoon.
At least three days later.
That means I don’t have to face him or come to the villa for three days. I can move freely for three days.
It is is a happy thing, but I don’t know why, that kind of happiness only stays in my heart for a few seconds, replaced by a sense of loss.
He went abroad with his fiancee, Miss Fisher.
At the thought of this, I felt ridiculous.
What does it have to do with me?
Since he had a holiday, I couldn’t waste it.
At half past five in the afternoon, I called Evelyn and asked her out for dinner.
As a single girl without a date, Evelyn agreed happily. We have chosen a high-end Japanese restaurant.
When we arrived at the door, Evelyn didn’t forget to ask, “Leanna, I want to have a big meal with you. You can afford it, right?”
Although I feel a little sorry for my wallet, Evelyn is my good friend. She helped me a lot when I was in trouble. So no matter how ridiculous the request is, I will agree as long as I can.
We came to the restaurant. Under the guidance of the waiter, we chose a table by the window where we could see the night view of the city.
As soon as I sat down, Evelyn pointed to a place not far away and asked in surprise, “what a coincidence! We can even meet each other here, right?”
“What are you talking about?” I looked in the direction she pointed and saw two familiar people, but I didn’t see them at all.
He seemed to have noticed me and looked over.
“Isn’t this a small world? Leanna, shall we go to another restaurant?” Evelyn wanted to leave before she could order.
But I waved my hand and said, “it doesn’t matter. Didn’t you want to have dinner in this restaurant for a long time? Since you’re here, don’t worry.”
“But… Don’t you really mind?” She said worriedly.
“Why do you mind? Since they can come here, can’t we? You just order the dishes. Let’s pretend that we don’t see them.”
“That’s true, but we can pretend that we didn’t see them, but they won’t pretend that they didn’t see us.” Evelyn covered her mouth with the menu and said in a low voice, “Lorna is coming this way.”
“What?” Upon hearing this, my expression immediately became flustered.
But soon, I calmed down again.
Why should I panic?
“What a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here. Evelyn, We’re friends. Why didn’t you call me instead of Leanna?” Lorna walked to the dining table and glanced.
Hearing this, Evelyn pursed her lips and said, “you’ve wronged me. It’s not my treat today. It’s Leanna’s treat. So I didn’t call her. She called me.”
“Evelyn, I’m afraid you can’t afford such a restaurant with your salary.” As Lorna spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed. Then she looked at me and said, “Leanna, oh, no, logically, I should call you sister. I heard from the father that the King family hasn’t made things difficult for The Moor family anymore. Speaking of this, it’s all your contribution. I really want to thank you.”
The word “sister” sounded harsh, but there was no trace on my face. I just said lightly, “no, I didn’t do anything.”
“What are you talking about? If it weren’t for you, Eugene wouldn’t have given up. I’m a little curious. How did you get to know Mr. Eugene and become his girlfriend? He treats you so well. I think he likes you very much.”
“Leanna, you and Mr. Eugene? Is the baby in your belly his?” Evelyn blurted out.
“Lorna, the dishes are served. What are you doing here?” Not knowing when, Otis also got up from their seats and walked over.
Lorna was stunned. “Is that true? Are you pregnant? Is the baby Eugene’s?”
I just feel two heads.
The topic between Evelyn and Lorna successfully changed the father of my baby from Edmund to Eugene.
I can’t deny it, but I can’t admit it either. I just looked up at the Lorna in front of me and said coldly, “it seems that it has nothing to do with you?”
“How could it be possible? You…”
“Lorna, did you hear me? Come with me.” The voice of Otis was cold and hard.
“Otis, didn’t you hear that? My sister is pregnant.” Lorna said blankly.
“Sister? What kind of sister is she? You fainted?” Otis said disdainfully.
“Dad told me that she is my sister. She is…”
I’m worried that they will quarrel here. In addition, there are many people in the restaurant, and the people who can have dinner here are all high-level social elites. I don’t like to be watched, so I said, “if you two want to quarrel, please stay away from us. We just want to have a meal quietly here.”
Otis said sarcastically, “Leanna, what are you proud of? Do you think Eugene will marry you? Do you know that women like you are everywhere on the street and you are worthless?”
When I heard this, my face turned red in an instant. I opened my mouth and was about to refute, but I heard a slightly familiar voice behind me.
“Mr. Otis are right. Leanna is indeed not worth much.”
I looked back at the source of the voice and saw Eugene in a khaki casual suit coming out from nowhere and walking behind me.
With a faint smile on his handsome face, he reached out his hand and naturally put it on my shoulder, and gently raised my chin with the other hand. “She is not measured by money.”
