NovelEnglishChapter 160 Maja’s back went suddenly stiff, her original plan was to use her phone to light up the room and pick up the broken porcelain.
But when she heard lan’s voice, she was momentarily stunned.
lan was holding a cup, it looked like he'd been working late, so he decided to head downstairs for a coffee.
The lights in the room were off, he could only make out a silhouette, he assumed it was a servant of the Villa.
“Where's the coffee machine?” he asked, already sniffing the aroma of the coffee.
Maria had told him before he went upstairs that there's always coffee ready downstairs, 24/7.
‘When working overtime, he needed this to refresh himself. The kitchen was pretty big, and the coffee
machine was not far from Maja, but she didn't dare to speak.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlan already caught the scent of the coffee and walked straight into the kitchen.
He didn't look at the person with her back to him, he just put his cup under the coffee machine.
This coffee machine had a warming function, so even if the power was out, it could still pour the brewed coffee into the cup.
As the coffee poured into the cup, the aroma in the kitchen became stronger.
This was lan’s favorite coffee bean, but in this coffee aroma, he also smelled a familiar scent.
He frowned, unable to resist looking at the person again.
She was still squatting on the ground, not even moving her shadow: Maja’s fingers were still clamped around the broken porcelain, she quickly picked up the porcelain pieces in front of her with the help of the lightning outside the window, and threw them into the kitchen trash can.
She got up, kept her head down, and quickly left the kitchen, and that's when lan spoke.
“It must be a power outage, everyone else is asleep now, you lead me to find the fuse.” He wasn't familiar with the layout of Rosewood Manor, but the housekeepers here should know.
Clearly, he mistook Maja for a servant.
Maja wanted to pass him quietly, but when she heard this, she
paused.
lan was a bit annoyed, wondering why she was so clueless.
Maja lowered her voice, deliberately changing her tone.
“Sorry, Mr. Raymond, | don’t know where the fuse is.” lan didn’t bring his phone when he came down, he could barely see anything in the room, so he asked, “Where's your phone? Turn on the light.” Maja almost instinctively replied.
“I didn’t bring my phone.” As soon as the words fell, her phone rang in her pocket.
That was a slap in the face.
She held her phone tightly, feeling her face getting hotter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey could only see each other's silhouette, and because Maja deliberately avoided him, lan couldn't see clearly.
“Oh, no phone?” His tone was calm, not angry, but it was like a slap in Maja’s face..
Maja regretted it, she didn’t know how to respond to lan’s words, she kept her head down and wanted to leave.
She had barely taken a step when her wrist was grabbed.
“Aren't you a servant at Rosewood Manor?” She showed up here in the middle of the night, seemed scared when she saw him, didn't answer his questions, even lied about not having her phone. Was she afraid he'd see her face? lan was a big shot. There were always women with ulterior
motives trying to get close to him, not to mention this woman showed up in the kitchen, did she put something in the food? He'd had similar experiences before, so he was very careful.
He had strict control over this in his house abroad, he didn't have any female housekeepers.
But it was different in Rosewood Manor, no one knew if the staff here had been replaced.
This woman's behavior was secretive and cunning, it was really suspicious.
Maja’s wrist was tightly held, she could only taste bitterness in her mouth, she continued to speak softly.
“Mr. Raymond, you've got the wrong idea.” “Give me your phone.” He wanted to see what she was hiding, why she didn't dare to turn on the phone's light.
