Chapter 304: Personal Assistant
When Rose was confused about what to do. Suddenly she heard someone knocking on the door. She immediately threw her phone on the sofa and walked towards the door.
Is that Evan?
But why is he knocking on the door?
Instantly, a playfully smile framed Rose’s face as she imagined her husband wanting to prank her.
However, when she opened the door, she was surprised to see a pixy-haired, tall, male-like woman standing in front of her. She smiles at her new personal assistant.
"Yes, Laura!?"
"Young madam. Your dinner is ready..." Laura Martin politely said.
"Is my husband home yet?" Rose still remembered Evan promised her he’d be home before dinner.
"Young madam, I am sorry to inform you... Young Master Evan hasn’t returned yet. However, he ordered us to prepare dinner for you, and he will be in touch with you soon...."
Rose was instantly disappointed to learn that Evan hadn’t returned and couldn’t have dinner with her. However, even though she felt disappointed, she tried not to show her emotions as she followed Laura to the dining room downstairs.
"Laura, how long have you been working here?"
As she descended the stairs, Laura, standing behind Rose, replied, "I only started working 10 years ago. However, I have lived here since I was a child."
Rose is surprised to hear that Laura has lived here since she was a child. This means that she has seen her husband since childhood.
"Are you Uncle Paul’s daughter?"
Rose looked at Laura. Her stature was so tall that she seemed fit to be a female bodyguard.
"Yes. You guessed it right. The old man is my father..." Laura smiled gently.
Since graduating from high school, Laura began to learn to do this job; housekeeper. Now, she’s done this professionally and is preparing to continue her father’s position of caring for the house when he retires. A job she didn’t really want to do, but she had no choice because she had been trained for it since childhood.
But yesterday, her father informed her that she would be Young Madam’s personal assistant. This thrilled her. Because this job was so much better than taking care of this whole house.
Not long after, Rose was sitting at the dining table. She saw some dishes being served in front of her. She couldn’t help but smile when she saw her favorite rib-eye steak. But, somehow, her favorite food could not arouse her appetite.
Seeing Laura standing in the corner made Rose uncomfortable. She wasn’t used to being treated like this because, at her house in East city, Aunt Nora sometimes sat with them while they ate. There is no boundary between them.
"Laura, you can join me here..." Rose asked Laura to sit next to her.
"No. Sorry young madam. I can’t do it. Personal Assistants’ tradition in this house is not to sit too close to their boss." How could she sit with her master? If her father saw, she would definitely be punished.
Rose was speechless. She didn’t know that this house had such a silly rule.
Not only that, but she also felt uncomfortable being called ’Young Madam.’ She wanted to ask Laura to just call her by her name. But because of the personal assistant’s tradition, Laura would probably refuse the request, right?
"It’s okay, Laura. You may disregard that silly tradition when it’s just the two of us in the room." Rose looked into her eyes, trying to make her believe she would be fine even if she sat shoulder to shoulder with her.
After seeing Laura walk over and sit down at the end of the table, Rose smiled. "I want to talk to you. So, it’s fine if you sit close to me this time...don’t worry, no one will know."
Laura couldn’t help but laugh bitterly in her heart, knowing she was in trouble. Her father could see them from the CCTV in the control room.
"Sorry if my question offends you, but may I know how old you are, Laura?" Rose is curious. Because she saw Laura’s face looked too young for her mature demeanor.
"I’m 28 years old, Young Madam."
"Wow, you’re the same age as Sam Russell. Do you know Sam, right?"
"Of course, Young Madam. Mr. Russel often comes to this house, so we’ve seen each other a few times."
"He lives here now."
"Yes, young madam. I know he is your bodyguard. So, I began to communicate with him frequently since I was appointed as your personal assistant."
"Please take care of me, Laura." Rose smiled before putting down her cutlery. Although the steak in front of her looks tempting when she eats it, it tastes bland.
Rose felt lonely eating alone, Laura’s presence in this room could only make her swallow a few pieces of steak and fresh fruit. But still, she couldn’t finish her dinner.
She missed Evan. She was also confused because Evan didn’t reply to her messages and didn’t call her either. In fact, when she called, Evan’s phone was off, and so was Gavin’s. They seem to have been missing since this afternoon.
She couldn’t reach her husband on the phone this time, nor did she know where he was. For some reason, a feeling of suspicion arose in her heart. And it makes her appetite disappear.
"Laura, I’m done. You can go back to your place..." Rose put the napkin on the table, then slowly stood up and left the table.
Laura panicked when she saw that Young Madam had only eaten a few mouthfuls.
Did she talk so much that Young Madam lost her appetite?
Laura was worried. She stood up quickly, following Rose from behind, "Young madam, was the steak bad?"
"The steak is delicious..." Rose replied as she continued walking towards the stairs.
"But, Young Madam, you only ate a little. Please return to the table. Let me ask the chef to prepare another meal if you don’t like the steak..." Laura said again, walking after Rose to the stairs.
Rose stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Laura, "Laura, The steak is delicious. But I’m still full and suddenly feel sleepy... you can go back to your place. No need to come with me upstairs."
