Isolde didn't think Keelin would take such a sudden move. She fell to the floor, rolled her eyes, and looked up at Keelin in shock, her eyes filled with anger and hatred.
"You …"
"You what?"
Keelin smirked, she looked at Isolde fearlessly and said:
“If a servant is not as fast as a dog, what is the need of a servant? I'd rather buy a dog to run, it's more effective than you, it's cheap and reasonable, and it's not like someone else uses the eyes of the enemy to look at the owner. Sassy"
Keelin's steely voice and strong aura not only shocked Isolde, but also made Sera dumbfounded.
She didn't know that Keelin also had this side, and for a moment a feeling of joy spread in her heart. It seems that the boss really has eyes for people, this girl is really not as weak as she seems.
After a few seconds of surprise, Sera gave a reassuring smile and then stood to the side, leaving the decision to Keelin in full control.
After receiving a slap from Keelin, seeing Sera's humorous smile and the peering eyes of everyone around, Isolde realized that she was not profitable. But thinking of Clara, she tried to control her trembling and raised her voice to threaten Keelin:
“You hit me? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Ramos will find out? Boss won't forgive you?"
"Really?" Keelin laughed mockingly
She stooped slightly, looked Isolde straight in the eye, and spoke with her matter-of-fact voice
“Isolde, you seem to be overestimating yourself. Do you think Lars will favor you, an ex-fiancée's maidservant, or me, the ex-wife he worked so hard to bring back after the divorce? And the answer … You must be the one who knows the answer the most, Isolde”
Isolde shuddered to hear that. She doesn't know why Lars suddenly agreed to let Keelin come back even though they're already divorced. But she still thinks that no matter what, everything is still the same, even if Keelin gets divorced and comes back, nothing will change. But now she knows she was wrong. Something very special happened between the two of them, and that was why Keelin changed and no longer tolerated her, Isolde.
Seeing the fear in Isolde's eyes, Keelin knew she had successfully exerted influence, but that wasn't enough for her.
Keelin straightened her back, looked down at Isolde, then spoke to Sera in a commanding voice
“Sera, would you mind paying Isolde this month's salary and giving her an allowance equivalent to three more months. It's a reward for her 'hard work' these three years."
Hearing the meaning of Keelin's words, Isolde stared at her in shock.
"What? … You want to fire me? You are not afraid…”
"What? Fear of what?" Keelin interjected Isolde's words "Afraid of Clara? Or afraid of Lars? Too bad, now neither of them can make me feel fear.”
Keelin turned to Sera and said:
"Do it!"
Sera received the order, without hesitation called someone to drag Isolde out of the room. Sera also follows to complete the formalities for her.
Isolde's screams of protest faded away and ended.
Looking at Keelin's new self, the rest of the servants couldn't help but feel apprehensive, but most of all, they still saw Keelin as a sensible person. Isolde is like this because she deserves it, there's no doubt about it.
Everyone retreated, and the large room was now alone with Keelin.
She was happy, but not long before her mood dropped again. Because Isolde's existence was what reminded Keelin of Lars' previous cold attitude. Although Keelin's feelings are not as passionate as before, she still has hope, he has said that he will change.
Keelin stared into space for a long moment, then reached for the phone. The moment her finger touched the phone, the screen suddenly lit up, and a notification from the cinema app appeared, it was an advertisement for the newly released Finding Nemo part 2 movie, the story of Dory, the colored fish green.
Dory … Doris ... Right, Doris.
Keelin's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly found Sera's number and called her.
Soon, Sera picked up the phone.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
“Where is Doris now?” Keelin immediately asked
Sera thought for a few seconds then remembered
“Doris…that orange-haired maid? I don't know, do you have an urgent matter to see her?"
“Yes, can you help me contact her?”
"Okay, I'll contact you right away, then I'll let you know"
Keelin hung up the phone and let out a soft breath.
Doris was originally a maid that Keelin brought from the Morales mansion after she got married. After about three months, Doris talked about going back home to visit, and then never came back. She did contact her, but she did not say why. It was not until two years later that Keelin learned that Clara used the money to threaten Doris' family, causing her to leave the Ramos mansion. Knowing the story, Keelin helped Doris 'destroy' all threats and asked her to return to work, but at that time Doris said that there was an important job so she could not return. After that, Keelin did not contact her anymore.
Looking back, Keelin felt it was the right time to bring Doris back.
If Lars has a great assistant Finn, so does Keelin, for her, that person is Doris. So, for the sake of Keelin's post-divorce life, at all costs, she had to bring Doris back.
***
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, today is the day Lars comes back from a business trip in the eastern city.
Especially, today Keelin woke up very early, two hours earlier than usual. But she woke up early not because of Lars' return but because of the arrival of the garden designer, Martin.
In the past, due to various reasons, Keelin had minimized the change of layout and objects in the Ramos mansion. But now it's different, she wants to do, dares Lars to stop.
Keelin leisurely sat down to enjoy her tea, her gaze drifting to the dug-out area not far away, where a maidservant was screaming, it was none other than Doris.
“No, that must be left.”
"Hey man! Don't dig there anymore, everything around will be breaking"
"Hey, hey, don't touch that, that’s the boss's favorite statue. Do you have enough money to compensate?"
Keelin watched Doris running back and forth, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. She just told Doris to go out there and do a little visual inspection, who would have thought she'd go out there to direct people.
“That girl is really energetic.” Marin standing beside Keelin saw Doris and couldn't help but laugh. This was not the first time he knew Keelin, but the first time he had come to this Ramos mansion. Witnessing the two masters and servants exchanging and seeing Keelin's happy eyes looking at Doris, Martin immediately felt that she came here to be a bride, although in a hurry, but not too bad.
“That's right.” Keelin nodded and looked up slightly at Martin, it wasn't hard for her to guess the thoughts in his eyes. But it can't be helped, he doesn't know her real life at the Ramos mansion, much less the fact that she and Lars are divorced. To be more precise, most outsiders are like that because that information is strictly confidential by Lars, which Keelin had accidentally learned from Sera.
Putting that aside for a moment, Keelin looked down at the flower garden catalog and asked Martin
"I want to grow Iris flowers, how do you think it should be arranged to be reasonable and beautiful?"
Martin thought for a moment. He was just about to answer when a low, hoarse voice suddenly came from behind he:
"Who is he?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Keelin remained in the same position, not turning her head. Only Martin turned to look, he bowed his head:“Mr. Ramos, good morning. I'm the garden designer, Martin.”Lars glanced at Martin and then at Keelin, but all he saw was her straight back.Lars walked over to the tea table, still wearing his suit, apparently, he came looking for Keelin as soon as he got back from a business trip. But unlike the image he imagined in his head, Keelin was no longer happy, running to the gate to welcome him like before. Lars couldn't help but feel disappointed.Sensing Martin backing away and Lars pausing beside the table, Keelin flipped through the catalog pages and said coldly:"You are home? Welcome back”Although it was 'welcome', Lars couldn't hear any cheerfulness in those words, and suddenly felt angry."Aren't you here to welcome me?"At this time, Keelin looked up at Lars, no longer with a passionate gaze, no longer attached, nostalgic, but simply like long-tim
Seeing Keelin's disappointed look, Lars felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. He took a deep breath and spoke in a serious voice:"Kee, I didn't choose to pursue you because you knew my true identity at all."“Then why?” Keelin asked immediately, tears streaming down her cheeks."Calm down, Kee"Lars helped Keelin sit down on the sofa. Looking at her red eye sockets, his heart ached, he reached out his hand to wipe the tears that were falling from her eyes in a very gentle way.Seeing Lars care about her like that, Keelin really didn't feel familiar. These things she had dreamed of before, but she did not have them. Then why would he suddenly act like this without any purpose?Lars got Keelin a glass of water. Waiting for her to finish drinking, he timidly asked"Are you calm?"Keelin didn't answer, just nodded.Seeing that, Lars whispered in relief. He reached his hand toward her neck.Seeing this action of Lars, Keelin was startled, and moved her body slightly to the right, stretc
Keelin stopped, she turned to face Lars and said seriously "Truth? Lars, so let me ask you one thing, why is it your destiny as a vampire to be an ordinary girl like me? You're immortal but I'm not, can that be considered a lifetime? It's my life, not yours." “Keelin, no, that…” Lars wants to explain but Keelin doesn’t let him do that "Enough. Let's stop here, Lars." Keelin said emphatically, "I'm human, so I'm going to live with human customs. Yes, I used to love you and married you, but that is the past. Now we're divorced, that's all, nothing matters anymore." With that, Keelin untied the necklace in front of Lars' panicked gaze. “If this necklace is already yours, I will return it to you. And, by the end of three years, we won't owe anyone anything. Okay?" “No way.” The necklace that Keelin had just taken off was immediately waved by Lars and returned to stay on Keelin's neck. "You want to deny the relationship with me, that will never happen. " Keelin looked at Lars, her e
He walked over and put his arm around Keelin's waist and said:“If she wants it, I will immediately arrange the wedding, twice as big as before.” Because that time was a hasty wedding, and Lars always tried to suppress his emotions, so everything was organized very simply, it doesn't take long, and friends aren't invited much either. This is the thing that Lars feels sorrow at and regrets the most, he always wants to make up for Keelin with a big wedding but has not had the opportunity.It's just that, when this word fell on Clara's ears, it was like an atomic bomb“You… what are you saying? Aren't you two divorced? Don't you just like her?"Keelin pushed Lars's hand away, and she turned the other way, not bothering to face him. Lars looked at her indulgently and said: “It is true that we are divorced but who says we cannot remarry. As for the fact that I don't like her… who said that? I've never said that I don't like her before." “But you… your attitude…” Clara frowned in disappr
Eira didn't say anything specific, but both of them knew exactly what she meant. Valor liked Keelin even before Keelin met Lars, but unfortunately, Keelin chose Lars. That's why Valor chose to leave this city, otherwise, he couldn't bear to see Keelin constantly entwined with Lars.Eira paused for a moment and then gently advised:“Kee, I know you have a reason to stay at Ramos mansion but whatever it is, you and Lars are divorced now. So, give yourself and those around you another chance, okay?” Eira didn't mention Valor by name, but Keelin knew she was referring to him.If it was before, Keelin wouldn’t hesitate to refuse, but now it's not like that anymore.“Okay, I'll think about it” Keelin was silent for a long time then answeredReceiving that answer, Eira almost jumped up. In the past, every time she mentioned this, Keelin would definitely dismiss it but this time she 'needs to think', this is not a definite answer, but it also shows that Valor has a chance.“Fine, then you sho
The next day, as 'promised', Clara came again. Seemingly familiar with this place, as soon as she arrived, Clara went straight to Lars's home office on the second floor. And one room away was Keelin's bedroom.Just as Clara walked in, Keelin came out of the room.After spending a 'salty' night with Lars, Keelin still did not change her attitude. However, now she didn't hesitate to show her distaste for Clara. Because at least she was somewhat aware of Lars' feelings for her, and at the same time Keelin herself still had feelings for Lars. Then why does she have to be patient with Clara's malice?“Lady Morales, good morning” Clara said a friendly greeting, but Keelin nodded with a smirk. She couldn't help but hear the irony in Clara's 'friendly greeting'. It sounds like Clara has changed but it's not, she's just trying to remind her that Keelin is divorced.What she meant was that now that Keelin is in the Ramos mansion, so what? She is no longer the real Mrs. Ramos, she is just ‘a lad
Keelin's gaze suddenly turned to the upstairs passage. Clara was angry a moment ago, but she still managed to control it, now she's out of control like that, no need to guess, it's because of Lars.Keelin straightened up, she didn't care that Clara pointed at her insultingly and said:“If you don't leave me alone, what are you going to do? Lady Diaz, you better remember this, I'm here because your Lars wanted me here, I didn't volunteer. Want me to leave? Okay, tell Lars to agree, I'll leave immediately.”Keelin doesn't really like Clara, but not to the point of being unreasonable. Sometimes, Keelin riles Clara just because Clara makes her annoyed.As for this incident, Keelin did not intend to deceive Clara, she just told the truth. Currently, Keelin still has feelings for Lars, and also has hope for him, but she is no longer stubborn. Once he told her to leave, she would leave the mansion immediately. Anyway, the two are divorced, and they have no children, so there is nothing to wo
After dining at an Italian restaurant, Keelin and Eira went to a mall to do some shopping. The two girls held hands and went from shop to store without getting tired. After more than two hours, they went to a sweets shop, had another snack, and then parted to go home. Tracking the two girls from start to finish, Lars not only couldn't gather any useful information, but also had to witness his wife cuddling with another woman. His mood is worse than being bitten by a dog…and it's hard for a dog to bite him. Thinking for a moment, Lars decided to follow Eira to see if he could find any other clues. The Patel family were werewolves, but Eira chose to be friends with Keelin, moreover, the Patel family didn't seem to object, which was inherently unusual. Like always, after Eira leaves, Keelin will call the driver to return to the Ramos mansion Normally Keelin would call the driver of the mansion, but today he was assigned by Lars to go on a mission with Finn, so she could only call th
