âItâs unnecessary. You can just leave my house now.â
Nicole was left speechless.
What a jerk! Didnât you see the tears on my face? How could you have the heart to drive me out?
Unperturbed, she wanted to go on with it and acted even more pitiful.
âMr. Seet, I really donât have a place to stay. Besides, I still have several kids. Iâ¦â
What should I say to play on his heartstrings? Nicole was suddenly lost for words since she didnât 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 wonât 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 wasnât 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, âYou can be my maid if you insist on staying here.â
âA maid? Iâm a doctor who is always busy treating patients. Who are you to make me your maid?â
âNicole, letâs meet halfway. Iâll 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!â
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!
Itâs a trap! But if I refuse to do it, he definitely wonât let me stay.
After a while, Nicole replied, âI 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.â
âItâs a deal!â
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?
âMake a cup of coffee for me now.â
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, âItâs too hot. Get another cup for me!â
She knew that it wouldnât 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.
âMr. Seet, hereâs another cup of coffee.â She put the cup down gently in front of him.
This time, Evan touched the cup and said, âItâs too cold. Get another cup!â
Nicole couldnât help but roll her eyes. Itâs still the same cup because I didnât change it! How dare he say that itâs cold?
Unperturbed, she put a thermometer into the cup slowly and said, âMr. Seet, since you think itâs 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 itâs enough. Please donât read your document but focus on the thermometer instead.â
The next moment, she grabbed the document from him and put it away.
At this time, he stared at her in disbelief and said, âIs the coffee still drinkable if you do this?â
âWell, since Iâm stupid, this is the only method that I can think of. Ask someone else to do it if youâre not satisfied with it.â
Hmph! You donât really want to have coffee anyway. I can do this all day if thatâs what you want. Once itâs time to pick up the kids from kindergarten, I will stop doing this. Iâm sure he dares not to make things difficult for me when the kids are here!
Soon, Nicole began to do it and asked, âThe temperature is one degree higher now. Mr. Seet, please touch the cup to check if it is okay.â
Meanwhile, Evan stared at her with his piercing eyes. She deliberately wants to ask for trouble! My god, I have underestimated her.
âMr. 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?â
He stared at Nicole and flashed her a wry smile. Hmph! Youâre lucky this time!
âGet out!â
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.
âSince you wonât drink the coffee anyway, Iâll take the cup out of the room right away!â
Before leaving the study, she turned around and glanced at his cold face again.
