Chapter 13

Ms. Susan prepared some tea. She noticed the gloomy look on Kim’s face, so she then turned her attention to the dining table and realized what happened. Then, she walked up to Kim and said with a smile, “Ms. Jackson, do you want to have some tea while waiting? It takes a while for the young master to finish his breakfast.”

Kim regained her senses and quickly put on a smile as if the dourness on her face never happened. She took the tea from Ms. Susan and thanked her before she went over to the living room.

While Ms. Susan was tidying up the toys on the other couch, she unintentionally asked, “Ms. Jackson, it’s the weekend. Why are you here so early?” Ms. Susan was merely trying to be polite.

Kim did not meet Blake yesterday morning, and she came by even earlier today. She even wanted to sit down at the dining table and have breakfast with the family.

He usually stayed at home during the weekend if he had nothing to do. When he was at home, Kim was not needed to tutor Winson. Besides, when she was hired as Winson’s tutor, her contract stated that she only needed to tutor him on the weekdays. If she was needed on the weekends, she would be informed earlier.

Kim was a smart person, so she knew what Ms. Susan was trying to say. She looked at Blake and said, “I worked extra late last night, and when I could finally sleep, it was already morning, so I decided not to sleep altogether. I don’t have anything to do. That’s why I decided to drop by.”

“Huh?” Ms. Susan failed to react to Kim’s answer. It took her awhile to process it because it sounded both reasonable and unreasonable at the same time.

While Ms. Susan was processing the answer, Blake had finished his breakfast and walked over. Kim took a set of documents from her bag and stood up to tell Blake, “Mr. Ferguson, these are the details about the embassy. Please have a look if it’s useful. If it’s not good enough, tell me and I’ll change it to suit you.”

Blake took the document and went through it briefly. He said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s nothing. It’s my pleasure to help, Mr. Ferguson.” Kim subtly glanced at Jessica and Winson at the dining table when she said that.

Since Blake was going through the document, he did not notice Kim’s gaze. He simply told Ms. Susan, “Susan, get some breakfast for Ms. Jackson here.”

He then looked up at Kim and asked, “You haven’t had breakfast, have you?”

“Ah…” Kim bashfully nodded and tucked her hair behind her ear. “I came here right away after I finished working on the document, so I forgot all about breakfast.”

Kim then had breakfast on the couch as she chatted with Blake about work. The two of them were serious when they talked about work. The atmosphere got so solemn that one could hardly cut in.

Jessica listened to them quietly, and she found out Kim did not sleep last night because she had been doing some translation for Blake.

Kim might not have attended a gala before, but she knew it was the battlefield for businessmen. She accidentally heard from Joe, Blake’s assistant, that Blake wanted to start a tourism business focusing on Europe with Spain being one of the important locations.

Lady Cecilia had also mentioned that the consul from the Spanish embassy had attended the Mid-Autumn Gala last night, so meeting the consul at the gala would surely spark a conversation or two.

Kim had great mastery over Spanish, and if Blake’s project turned out to be a success, she would be the one with the biggest credit—as expected of the ideal daughter-in-law of Lady Cecilia.

The sun rose higher into the sky and its light gleamed through the window, bathing Blake and Kim under its brilliance. The handsome man and the beautiful lady formed a lovely scene, but it was irritating to Jessica, and she felt like the view stung her eyes.

She blinked and giggled in her heart. She believed she was not needed at all, so she did not walk over and interrupt them. Instead, she carried Winson and pushed the stroller out of the house.
