“Mr. Seet, I really don’t have a place to stay. Besides, I still have several kids. I…”
What should I say to play on his heartstrings? Nicole was suddenly lost for words since she didn’t jot them down in advance.
Meanwhile, Evan frowned deeply when he looked at her.
Is she trying to make me sympathize with her? Hmph! Not only that she applies makeup, but she is also wearing an entirely different set of clothes. Haha, her intent is too obvious. What a stupid woman! You won’t fool me!
He crossed his arms over the chest as if he were ready to watch her show.
On the other hand, Nicole suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.
Why does he look like this? Well, am I not pitiful enough? Or is he a heartless jerk?
Since she stopped talking, his lips curled up in disdain when he said, “You can be my maid if you insist on staying here.”
“A maid? I’m a doctor who is always busy treating patients. Who are you to make me your maid?”
“Nicole, let’s meet halfway. I’ll let you stay for the time being, yet you must be my maid. Otherwise… I will feed you to the wolves when you are asleep!”
At this moment, Nicole looked at him while pondering over his suggestion.
Apparently, the jerk wants me to be his maid because he wants to dispirit me! No wonder he said I would regret my decision and leave by myself!
It’s a trap! But if I refuse to do it, he definitely won’t let me stay.
After a while, Nicole replied, “I can only do half of the tasks of a maid. You should understand that I still have to take care of my four kids and send them to school.”
“It’s a deal!”
What? Why does the jerk agree with it? Is it still difficult to be his maid even when I will only do half of the tasks?
“Make a cup of coffee for me now.”
After Eva finished, he cast a wry glance at her before going into the study.
As Nicole dared not to procrastinate, she went to the kitchen right away.
However, when she put the cup of coffee before him, he touched it and yelled, “It’s too hot. Get another cup for me!”
She knew that it wouldn’t be that easy. Judging from the way he glanced at her, she expected that he would grab the opportunity to make things difficult for her.
“Mr. Seet, here’s another cup of coffee.” She put the cup down gently in front of him.
This time, Evan touched the cup and said, “It’s too cold. Get another cup!”
Nicole couldn’t help but roll her eyes. It’s still the same cup because I didn’t change it! How dare he say that it’s cold?
Unperturbed, she put a thermometer into the cup slowly and said, “Mr. Seet, since you think it’s too cold, I will add some hot water into it little by little to make it hotter. You can ask me to stop when you think it’s enough. Please don’t read your document but focus on the thermometer instead.”
The next moment, she grabbed the document from him and put it away.
At this time, he stared at her in disbelief and said, “Is the coffee still drinkable if you do this?”
“Well, since I’m stupid, this is the only method that I can think of. Ask someone else to do it if you’re not satisfied with it.”
Hmph! You don’t really want to have coffee anyway. I can do this all day if that’s what you want. Once it’s time to pick up the kids from kindergarten, I will stop doing this. I’m sure he dares not to make things difficult for me when the kids are here!
Soon, Nicole began to do it and asked, “The temperature is one degree higher now. Mr. Seet, please touch the cup to check if it is okay.”
Meanwhile, Evan stared at her with his piercing eyes. She deliberately wants to ask for trouble! My god, I have underestimated her.
“Mr. Seet, please take a look. The temperature is two degrees higher now because I have added more water. Would you like to touch it to check if it is suitable?”
He stared at Nicole and flashed her a wry smile. Hmph! You’re lucky this time!
“Get out!”
Although he spoke composedly, she could clearly feel the tense atmosphere.
But still, she was relieved once she heard the command, which was like a pardon that set her free.
“Since you won’t drink the coffee anyway, I’ll take the cup out of the room right away!”
Before leaving the study, she turned around and glanced at his cold face again.
Bang!
Nicole was relieved as soon as she closed the door of the study.
Evan would ask me to make coffee throughout the afternoon if I didn’t come up with the idea. Who knows what will his next tricks be! Anyway, I must achieve my goal as soon as possible.
She decided to look for an opportunity to talk to Evan about it.
On the other hand, Evan slowly averted his gaze from the thermometer and heaved a sigh deep in his heart. She is smart somehow, yet her attitude… What a pity…
He decided to get custody of Juan as soon as possible and force Nicole to leave his house. After all, the sooner she left, the less likely she could influence Juan.
After falling silent for a while, he made a phone call and gave an instruction.
“Mr. Seet, did you say…”
“He is our only bargaining chip to threaten Nicole.”
“Understood, Mr. Seet. I will do it right away.”
When Evan hung up the phone, he lowered his head and glanced at his watch. After that, he strode steadily toward the garage.
Nicole picked up her kids from the kindergarten in the afternoon. The kids immediately played with their own toys once they were back. However, only Maya looked grumpy because she kept pursing her lips and didn’t utter a word.
“What happened, Maya?” Nicole asked worriedly.
Maya only begins her plan to lose weight today. Did something happen?
After a while, Maya looked at Nina grumpily and complained, “When our teacher was distributing biscuits just now, Nina grabbed mine and gulped it down.” Tears began to well up in her eyes when she spoke.
Meanwhile, Nicole’s heart wrenched when she looked at Maya’s pitiful face.
“Nina, why did you eat Maya’s biscuit?”
“Since she has to lose weight, I was merely helping her.”
“Mommy, I’m hungry…” Once Maya finished, tears began to stream down her face.
“Mommy is going to get some food for you now.”
“No eating. She has to lose weight!” Nina suddenly yelled.
“Nina, we can’t starve Maya even though she has to lose weight. Maya needs to eat something too.”
“That’s right. Maya is awesome because she ate less food in the morning today,” Juan interrupted while giving Maya a drumstick.
Once Maya took the drumstick, she took a large bite out of it. On the other hand, Nina shook her head when she saw Maya guzzled the drumstick.
“Maya, from now on, we can have breakfast and lunch as usual but eat less during dinner. Does this sound good?”
Maya nodded at her repeatedly. In fact, she could hardly resist the temptation of food when she saw her friends enjoyed eating snacks in the kindergarten.
After lunch, Evan sent the kids back to the kindergarten. Nevertheless, as soon as she came back, Evan happened to come home too.
Both of them came out of the garage at roughly the same time. The next moment, Nicole was startled because Evan gave her a wry glance.
Is he thinking about how to make a fool out of me again?
As such, she was on tenterhooks once she entered the living room. But much to her surprise, Evan went to the company and didn’t give her any task.
When the night closed in, the kids came home from kindergarten. At the same time, Davin arrived with some gifts in his hands and requested to go out with them.
Nicole was initially worried about it. Nonetheless, Davin promised to bring two maids together to take good care of them.
Besides, he whispered to her, “When the kids are not at home, you will have the best opportunity ever. Once Evan comes home, you have to talk to him nicely. You can do it!”
If Nicole can apply my strategies, I’m sure their relationship will improve a lot! I have played my role as the Cupid!
Besides, Davin could get the supercar once he fulfilled the task given by Julia.
“You can do it!”
Even though Nicole nodded in response, she was rather worried about it.
Since I spoiled my chance in the afternoon, will I repeat it tonight? But for the sake of custody of Juan, I must grab the chance and do my best!
