At the Davison's Residence, Valerie summoned courage with the saucer and cup of tea she was carrying. Her mind was made up, nothing would stop her from having a word with President Ethan. Furthermore, her heart was racing. Would she lose her job after confronting him?With her heart skipping beats, she stood in front of the door. All of a sudden, she lost all the courage she had summoned. She was still contemplating whether to knock on the door when the door was abruptly opened.“Good… Good day sir” She stuttered, trying to hide her anxiety. President Ethan glared coldly at her with his eyebrows puckered. He didn't say a word, but she understood him immediately.Gulping hard, she reluctantly said. “Sir, your tea is here.”“Take it in, and drop it on the table.” Ethan replied, and she nodded her head as she walked into the room.Immediately, she dropped the saucer on the table and still stood in front of President Ethan, who was reading a newspaper with his glasses.Adjusting his glas
Audrey couldn't stop singing and jumping in excitement. She was already prepared for the carnival, and couldn't help but wait impatiently for Valerie to come out of the servant's quarters.Meanwhile, Anastasia, who was closely watching Valerie, saw her walk into the bathroom. She quickly sighted her phone on the bed, where she had dropped the phone beside her purse.Without hesitation, Anastasia tiptoed to her room, and grabbed the phone. She quickly hid it under her apron, and Valerie swung the bathroom door open. “What are you doing here, Anastasia?” She asked with eyebrows narrowed. Startled, Anastasia gulped hard, nervously. She was visibly shaking, but managed to speak up. “I… I came here to borrow a book from Clara.” She stuttered.“Isn't it obvious that Clara is not here? Why are you looking for her here when you know where to find her?” Valerie queried.With a snort, Anastasia mumbled. “How would I know that she's not here? Besides, I know where she keeps the book. You're ju
Audrey kept following the lady, and they headed to the car garage. Suddenly, she stopped and folded her arms, glaring at the lady.“What are you standing there for, little girl? Don't you want to see your Miss old-fashioned? She told me to take you with me. Do you not want her to see you?” The lady asked.Audrey gulped and shook her head. “What if I don't believe you? Miss old-fashioned would have gone to get me herself. Why would she send you? And why are you taking me to the garage? Where's the ice cream she went to buy?”The lady was fuming in annoyance. She thought within herself.“This little girl is a pest like she's said to be. I have to convince her to come with me.”Wearing a fake smile, she bent over to Audrey. “She was rushing to leave. I don't know the reason she left, but I know that she wants me to take you back home.”“No! I don't want to go with you. In fact, there's no way you'd be the one she'll ask to take me home. What about the driver?”“You little…” The lady mana
“Where is my daughter?”Valerie was already choking due to how tight President Ethan was holding her collar. Fear was an understatement of what she was feeling, even if she wasn't looking him in the eyes. He was way taller and broader than her, so she could only feel his warm breath on her forehead.Tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't need anyone to tell her that President Ethan was as furious as hell. Therefore, she knew it would be the worst option to choose not to talk. “I left her over there to get some ice cream for her, and before I could get back, she was already gone.”“You b·itch!” President Ethan cursed under his breath as he forcefully let go of her collar, making Valerie stagger backwards. Luckily, the driver was able to catch her before she could hit her butt on the ground.Glaring hard at her, President Ethan dialed the number and in a few minutes, the police arrived. The park was still filled with people, and it was dark already. “Search for my daughter. You must
"Audrey!” President Ethan flung his eyes wide open. The little Audrey rushed to him, and hugged him tightly. Her eyes were still swollen because of the crying.“Miss old-fashioned! I'm sorry” Audrey pouted her mouth.Furthermore, Valerie rushed to Nicole and hugged him. He stared at Valerie with his eyes narrowed as he disengaged the hug. “Val, why are your eyes swollen? You don't look okay at all.”On hearing that, Valerie stole a glance at Ethan, who was feeling uneasy all of a sudden. He never expected to see Nicole with Audrey. “I'm… I'm fine, Nick”.“No, you're not fine. You know you can, like every other person in the world except me, Valerie.” Nicole asked anxiously.Ethan cleared his throat noisily, and turned to Audrey. “Baby, how come you are with your uncle Nicole? I thought you came here with your nanny, why are you with him instead?”Audrey walked to Valerie with tears in her eyes. “Miss old-fashioned, why did you leave me all alone? A lady came over, and she told me she
“Bunch of losers!”Rebecca ranted as she paced around in annoyance. The lady who had wanted to kidnap Audrey stood in front of her with another man. They were both bowing their heads in shame.“We're sorry, Miss Becca. The little girl is brilliant, we never expected her to be that smart.” Sophia tried to explain.“Bullshit! You're talking nonsense, and if you don't keep your freaking mouth shut, I'll be forced to slap it shut. Can you hear yourself? That little girl is just six years old, you knucklehead!” Rebecca yelled angrily.The man snapped. “She just doesn't act her age. I don't know how she figured out that it wasn't her nanny who sent us to pick her up. I doubt that girl is six years old because…”Rebecca rushed to him, and slapped him hard on the cheek. “Shut the f*** up! You should be ashamed of yourselves.”“We're sorry” They chorused.“Oh, sorry for your wretched selves. You're so gullible that a little girl was able to outsmart both of you. Such a shame!” Rebecca groaned
Valerie glared at him, confused. She was still lying on his chest while he was on the ground. His grip became firmer, as if she were going to run away if he let her go.“Sir, you're drunk. I think you need to go to bed.” Valerie managed to say.President Ethan coughed a little and snapped. “I'm not drunk, I know what I'm saying and what I'm saying is that you just can't turn Nicole down, can you? Is it because he's your lover? Huh?”“Lover?” Valerie blinked her eyes rapidly.“Are you going to deny it? Do you know how I feel each time I see you holding on to him like he was your savior? Oh, you won't know, right?” Ethan shook his head, and struggled up.However, Valerie was able to release herself from his grip. She still couldn't wrap her head around what the President meant. Does he think she's having an affair with Nicole? But that's not true! Even if it is, what does it have to do with him?Ethan staggered towards the sitting room, and Valerie aided him to sit on a couch. After he
The confrontation was getting heated up, and Rebecca couldn't help but pace around. The thought that she was losing her man to a peasant like Valerie made her go nuts.“What exactly did Ethan see in her? She's not classy, she's not sophisticated. What more does he want from such a disgusting maid?”Turning to Valerie, Rebecca yelled. “You better start talking. Both of you should explain to me what this is all about.”Still unsettled, Rebecca sat restlessly on the couch on the left, glaring hard at Valerie, who stood in front of her. Ethan, on the other hand, was also seated but in an armchair. “Why are you both quiet? I need an explanation of what I just saw a few minutes ago, and I need an explanation quick.” Rebecca spoke up with tears in the trace of her voice.Valerie gulped hard. Her heart raced faster as she scratched her head. “It's… it's not what you think, ma'am.” “Shut the f*** up, shameless tramp! I've always known that you were nothing but a h·er, but I underestimated ho
