A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 36

Sarah was a little cautious. She always felt trapped when talking to this woman, who clearly seemed to dislike her. "I am choosing bed sheets. What's the matter? Should I come back home?" Sarah said nervously.

"Why do you still call me, Mrs. Thomas, when you are getting married? You will be a lady of the Thomas family; how can you go out picking sheets by yourself? What a shameful thing! You should order the merchant to provide a home delivery service for you." Mrs. Thomas's tone was very strict. It seemed that she was blaming her.

Sarah kept silent while tightly squeezing the sheets in her hands. She felt upset but didn't dare say anything about it.

Mrs. Thomas exhaled sharply down the phone and said, "You go back now. You needn't show yourself outside. I want to discuss something with you."

"Charles's apartment or back to the family home?" asked Sarah carefully.

"The family home, of course. Or don't you plan on living at our house after you get married?" Mrs. Thomas said severely.

Sarah felt a little confused. In fact, she thought she would live at Charles's apartment after getting married instead of living with Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas. Most of Charles's companies were in Houston. Furthermore, Charles always let her decorate his apartment when they were talking about the wedding. It seemed that he had no intention of going home. However, Mrs. Thomas's words today suggested that she thought otherwise.

Sarah dared not refuse her and hung up the call. Then she immediately went to the airport and purchased a flight to Los Angeles. When arriving once again at the big solemn house, Sarah began to feel uneasy because only Mrs. Thomas and a few servants were there. Mrs. Thomas was arranging flowers. When she saw Sarah coming, she said, "Come and sit here."

Sarah walked toward her. Although she felt awkward, she had to obey her command, "What's the matter?"

"Can you arrange flowers?" asked Mrs. Thomas.

Sarah looked at flowers and vases on the table, shaking her head.

Mrs. Thomas got angry and said, "Why can't a girl arrange flowers?"

Sarah didn't say anything. Why did a girl need to learn to arrange flowers? Maybe Mrs. Thomas had a life of luxury from a young age, so she considered that a girl should learn it. However, Sarah had struggled since birth. She needed to support her sister, so she had no time to learn flower arranging.
