Isaac’s body was so hard that Patricia was in pain from knocking against him. She steadied herself as

she held onto his shoulders, and their eyes met.

“How should I punish you? Interest on interest? Huh?”

Patricia thought that he probably had a lot to drink when she observed him. No wonder his voice

sounded a little odd over the phone earlier—it wasn’t as cold as before and sounded a little more

friendly.

So, he’s drunk, she thought, undoing the tie for him.

After she took off the tie, a certain man felt more comfortable, and his attractive eyes gazed at her with

a slight hint of a smile. “I had a little too much to drink tonight, and I’m feeling uneasy. Can you prepare

something to ease my stomach?”

In fact, he didn’t drink a lot, just a glass of white wine, and he had a better tolerance for alcohol than

this, but a particular man just wanted to be drunk for once.

Probably this was what it meant when people say that only the heart would allow itself to be drunk.

Patricia blinked as she answered, “Oh, okay. But, President Arnold, you called me over for work. What

exactly do you want me to do?”

It seemed like someone had already cleaned his house, which was relatively clean.

This girl is so innocent and gullible, Isaac thought, staring at her with a deep look in his eyes. “Clean

my bedroom and also cook for me. Can you do that?”

His bedroom was a place he didn’t allow anyone in, so even the servants from the Arnold Family who

came over to clean didn’t dare to enter his room.

She knitted her brows as she answered honestly, “I can clean the place, but I’m not that good at

cooking.”

Her cooking wasn’t delicious, and Josephine usually did the cooking because her culinary skills were

superb. That was why Patricia kept her around—she didn’t want her culinary skills to torment her

darlings.

“That’s fine. You can learn. Go and prepare something to ease my stomach now.”

After she gave him a nod, she went into the kitchen. She knew a recipe to ease the stomach—ginger

soup. As Zachary often needed to drink during business dinners, Josephine had prepared this ginger

soup a few times for him, and she had also picked it up.

So, she took out a piece of ginger, chopped it up, and boiled it in water just long enough that she could

boil the juices out of the ginger.

While she waited for the ginger soup to be ready, she took out the calculator and started counting. How

much should she ask for the monthly salary if the whole sum was 125,000?

After several considerations, she decided on 10,000 because she had run a search on the Internet that

the monthly salary for a half-day housekeeper was only a little over 4,000. So, it was considered rather

high if she asked for 10,000.

With a bowl of ginger soup in her hands, she returned to the living room and placed it in front of Isaac.

“President Arnold, the ginger soup is ready. But, be careful because it’s hot!” she reminded him in a

friendly tone and chuckled. “President Arnold, may I ask for 10,000 as the monthly salary?”

Right now, he was drunk, so he must be in a blur. Nevertheless, as long as he gave her the nod, it

would be too late, even if he regretted it tomorrow.

Isaac straightened his body, picked up the spoon, and was about to take a sip when he heard her

request. This woman is trying to con me, he thought, furrowing his brows for a second. “5,000 a month.

I’ve given you an extra 1,000 compared to others.”

Patricia couldn’t help but silently curse in her heart, He’s still so sharp even when he’s drunk. What a

wily fox he is! Her lips pouted in disgruntlement, and she was a little unwilling to accept this, but that

was the market price, and she didn’t have the right to say no.

“Fine, 5,000 it is, then.” That means I have to work here for two years. My god, this is too expensive!

Isaac smirked as he noticed her sullen and pouting face, thinking that it was very adorable. “Go and

clean the room. The first room on the second floor.”

Therefore, she went upstairs and into the first room, which was huge. The outside was a small study,

and the bedroom was on the inside. When she entered the bedroom, she saw that the colors in his

room were very dark—black-colored wallpaper and even the bedsheets were black, but the blanket

was a mess.

She decided to start with the bed, and when she pulled the blankets away, she saw a beautiful woman

hidden beneath. Of course, she wasn’t real, and she looked a lot like Sylvie’s Barbie doll, but in the size

of an adult.

Patricia picked up the doll, paced to the top of the staircase, and exclaimed to the man downstairs,

“President Arnold, are you playing with dolls? You have to dress her up nicely to look good. I’ll help you

to doll her up, and I’m sure you’ll be amazed.”

The man who was having soup spit it out. How could I have forgotten about this?
