President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Chapter 35: You don’t have to stay here anymore



Victoria got into the car with a heavy heart and it was twenty minutes later when she arrived at Andrews Villa.

The maid opened the door, and when she saw her, a hint of displeasure crossed her brow visibly.

“Miss Blackwell, what are you doing here again? Lady Blackwell is away.”

Victoria saw that the hall was indeed empty except for the servants who cleaned it.

She looked up, to ask if Nick had been here, but saw that the maid had turned away impatiently.

It was also true that every time she came over, Elizabeth didn’t put a good attitude with her, and everyone understood that she was going to be repudiated sooner or later, so they just didn’t even want to pretend to have basic manners.

“Who’s coming?”

The door to the garden was pushed open and a pretty-looking young girl stood there, smiling softly, “Is that the new nanny? Not bad looking.”

There was no malice in her eyes, in fact she was simply asking questions.

The servant laughed softly, as a flash of disdain crossed her eyes.

But Victoria didn’t get annoyed as she thought, and said lightly, “No, the nannies in the house have uniforms, and I came over today to look for Mr. Andrews.”

She was too forthcoming to have the slightest excess of emotion.

The girl also realized that she had asked a very stupid question and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention, you came to see my cousin? He left half an hour ago.”

Cousin?

Victoria shot Emily Andrews a few glances and smiled, “Okay, thanks for letting me know.”

After realizing that she was really looking for her cousin for something and that she had just misunderstood her, she felt a little guilty, so she added an extra comment, “My cousin is supposed to be back at Andrews Enterprise for a meeting, I heard him answering the phone, probably taking the time out to come back.”

After saying that, Emily looked at the maid as her brows tightened, “Since this young lady is a guest, why don’t you even pour a cup of tea, can’t you be polite at all?”

The maid’s lips pursed and she was just about to retort when she heard Victoria respond.

“It’s okay.”

The maid was relieved to hear that Victoria wasn’t giving her a hard time, “Miss Andrews, she said it was fine.”

“Yeah?” Emily scowled, “You don’t have to stay here.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The maid was shocked, it was well paid here, if she lost this job…..

She looked to Victoria for help, but Victoria didn’t say anything.

While she did not find it offensive if she blundered once or twice. But doing so repeatedly, she was not recognising herself for who she was.

Besides, it wasn’t her decision to fire her, it was Emily Andrews who wanted to fire her.

The servant got pale and was trembling, when she was led out.

Emily looked to Victoria, “What are you to my cousin?”

“Interior designer.”

“I know, it’s the Serene Haven Estates set, right? All of us have been asking about you, it’s not easy to be chosen by my cousin.”

A flash of excitement appeared in her eyes, then she took a few steps closer, “I’m Emily, I’m nineteen years old, you look about my age, that’s impressive.”

She was only nineteen years old and spoiled by the Andrews Family, she was totally the little princess in the castle.

“You flattered me, and I fought long and hard to get the order.”

Emily’s thoughts were so simple that it never occurred to her why an interior designer would come to Andrews Villa to see Nick and talk about business instead of going to Andrews Enterprise.

“You don’t have to be modest, I’m flattering you from the bottom of my heart, I just didn’t realize you were so beautiful and capable, so much better than Claire Rodriguez.”

It was rare to meet someone who fits the eye, Emily couldn’t stop, “You should look better than that cousin sister-in-law of mine, I don’t even know what she looks like now.”

The corners of Victoria’s mouth pursed shallowly; she hadn’t shown up at Andrews Family, but she lived in every conversation.

Emily was curious about her and pulled her to sit down.

“I really have a friend who’s been asking about you, and I was wondering if you had any time left, and there are a couple of houses I’d like to ask you to look at.”

Though she had known that the benefit of taking Nick’s order would increase visibility, she was still a little surprised.

She laughed softly, shaking her head, “Miss Andrews, I’m sorry. I’m not going to take on any other orders besides Mr. Andrews for the time being while I’m serving him. If your friend is in need, I can refer him to my colleague.”

“Omo.”

Emily was a little disappointed, but her eyes then lit up again, “If you can design, then you must know how to draw, right? Come with me.”

Without avoiding suspicion at all, she took Victoria’s hand and headed upstairs.

Emily was staying at Andrews Villa for the last few days as it was close to where she and her friends had agreed to sketch.

“Would you help me take a look at this painting and see if there’s anything I need to change? I’ve been thinking about it all afternoon.”

Emily pouted, “I was going to come over and ask my cousin for advice, but he didn’t look well, so I didn’t dare ask much. And I heard that he was asking his wife to meet him, and it seems that she stood him up?”
