It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 935

Louisa didn't urge Leena to make the coffee. In her mind, she didn't have to. She stood up and looked around the house. Last time she was here, she was too eager to find the photo of Kevin's wife and didn't get a chance to carefully visit the place. And this time she could take time and have a good look at the place. Leena blocked Louisa as she saw her about to start up the stairs.

"Miss, here is your coffee. And the upstairs is private space, so please don't go there." It was then that she realized she had no idea what Louisa's name was. Leena was so careless to let her in without even knowing who this woman was.

"Huh! You're only a servant. Why do you think you have the right to ask me not to do something?" Louisa paused mid-stride at Leena's warning. She felt embarrassed to be stopped like this by a servant.

"Let's turn this around. As a guest, do you think it polite to intrude without the host's permission?" To her surprise, this woman not only was rude, she even didn't know basic formal etiquette. She treated Louisa as an equal.

"What's wrong with it? Last time I came here, Kevin asked me to feel free to look around. Do you think a servant would know more about the rules in this house than the host?" Louisa became angry and red-faced after she was questioned by Leena. She began to argue strongly for herself to justify her behavior. Her protests fell on deaf ears.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't ask you to visit the master bedroom, right?" Leena's eyes darkened. Any answer other than "no", then she would really have a bone to pick with Kevin.

"About this, I think it is only a matter of time." Louisa flashed a smug smile. Since Leena said so, she had no reason to insist on going upstairs. As she didn't even call before coming over, she sat down and sulked. She didn't clear it with Kevin beforehand, and she didn't want to cause tension between her and Kevin's servant.

"What do you mean?" Women were all very sensitive, and Leena was no exception. She captured the subtle meaning in Louisa's words.

"What do I mean? You don't understand even if I tell you. It's none of your business, do your work as a servant should do." Louisa glanced at Leena arrogantly. She felt jealous of Leena's rosy and fair skin. She wondered why a servant would have such good skin which was even better than hers. Was she a natural beauty?

She took a sip of the coffee and sniffed the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. But her mind was occupied by the question how to explain to Kevin why she was here at his apartment. She must find a good reason, because she didn't want to become a laughing stock in the eyes of the servant who was in the kitchen now.

When the meal was ready, Kevin still didn't come back. Not knowing whether Louisa would stay for dinner, Leena prepared two more dishes. Even though she didn't like Louisa, she still regarded her as a guest and treated her with due respect. She was like that. She didn't go off on some person unless he or she really deserved it.

"Would you like another cup of coffee?" Leena raised her head and checked the time. It was about time for Kevin to be home. She missed him, and she wondered if he knew this strange, rude woman that she was faced with. Maybe he'd have answers to the questions she was burning to know.But why was he still not back? And what was the relationship between him and this woman? How did he know her? Were they friends, old classmates? Or more importantly, was she his ex-girlfriend? Or was she a current one, and he had made a fool of Leena? But that was unlikely. He loved Daisy before, right?

"No need. But don't you get off work now? If you're off-shift, then it's time for you to go." Louisa didn't see Leena last time she came here, so she took it for granted that Leena was the hourly worker that Kevin hired. But the dishes were ready. Wasn't the worker supposed to leave now? She was getting rather impatient, and didn't want this woman to spoil her alone time with Kevin. The commander's daughter was quite nonplussed. When was it time for the servant to depart, then? And it never occurred to her that it was rude to suddenly show up at someone's house unannounced -- particularly around dinnertime.
