Chapter 613
Bogus Billionaire
Kirk was very efficient. They moved back to the villa in less than a day.
When Caroline came home from work, she was surprised to see the living room and kitchen neatly tidied. âYou tidied all of this up so soon! How many people did you hire?â
Kirk smiled and suddenly raised his voice, âMs. Carter!â
Caroline turned her head in confusion. Then, she saw an older lady walking out of the bathroom The lady was in her early 50s and wearing an apron. She seemed to be cleaning the house.
âWho is this?â Caroline asked curiously.
âThis is Edith Carter. Sheâll be our housekeeper from now on. Sheâll handle our daily necessities, so you donât have to work so hard.â
Caroline pulled Kirk aside and asked softly, âHow much are you paying her?â
She didnât care about the money, but she was worried about Kirk spending his money.
âJust one thousand dollars a month. Itâs not a lot of money, but I can still afford it â
Kirk stroked Carolineâs head. âI just donât want you to tire yourself out, darling.â
Carolineâs face turned slightly red. âYouâre such a sweet talker.â
âAnd itâs all just for you,â Kirk said sweetly, deliberately moving his lips to Carolineâs face.
Caroline became totally flustered at his actions. âKnock it off!â
She glanced at Edith, who was chuckling at them, and greeted awkwardly, âHello, Ms. Carter. Iâm Caroline. You can just call me Carrie.â
Edith covered her mouth and said with a smile, âOh no, I couldnât. Iâll just call you âmadamâ.â
In fact, Edith wasnât a housekeeper Kirk had hired for one thousand dollars a month. Instead, she was a fullâtime household manager that Kirk specially transferred over from abroad.
In addition to cooking and cleaning, she also had to improve the furnishings in the villa so that the owners could enjoy a warm and harmonious atmosphere at all times.
Her work would help them properly regulate their physical and mental states. So her monthly However, Kirk said if she told the truth, Caroline would definitely suspect him.
Hence, she had had no choice but to lie to Caroline and keep this secret. Otherwise, the Morrisons would fire her, and that was equivalent to ruining her career.
Edith wouldnât do something that stupid. She simply felt bad for Kirk. In the past, one of Kirkâs rooms had been bigger than this villa.
He had sacrificed so much for Caroline, but she wasnât even aware of it.
Edith, who had watched Kirk grow up, felt heartbroken. However, she felt better when she saw that Caroline was wellâeducated and benevolent.
When Caroline heard that Edith wanted to call her âmadamâ, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, âYou canât call me that, Ms. Carter. Weâre just an ordinary household. I couldnât let you call me that.â
âOrdinary, huh,â Edith thought. She looked at Kirk for instructions.
Kirk said, âFrom now on, whatever my wife says goes. Just obey her orders.â
Edith nodded. âOkay.â
Caroline, who had just calmed down, began blushing again. She glanced at Kirk shyly.
Kirk wrapped his arm around Carolineâs waist. âGo look around upstairs. Iâve asked Ms. Carter to redecorate everything. Take a look and decide if you like it.â
âYou even decorated the place?â
This was too much trouble, wasnât it?
