“I’m sorry, Ms. Ada. The housekeeper accidentally spilled some water. Why don’t you go and get changed?”
The person who bumped into Christina was Helen. Se sized up Christina’s black outfit curiously. She’s concealing her figure too well. I can’t even see a thing.
Christina shuddered. She didn’t just spill the water. The housekeeper obviously intended to splash the water at
She couldn’t help but feel a sense of vulnerability.
Christina didn’t have any spare black clothes. Her black coat was drenched and clinging tightly to her body.
She did not expect Julia to do something like that.
Having no other choice, she could only go inside the house to get changed. The black outerwear was thoroughly wet, but fortunately, her mask was fine.
If this precious item is ruined, I’ll be in big trouble!
A few moments later, Christina changed into a white dress.
When she went downstairs, Julia found her appearance more pleasant to the eyes now that she had taken off her black outfit. “Ms. Ada, why don’t you come here and take a seat?”
Christina walked over. As a precautionary measure, she wore a black face mask beneath her mask, revealing nothing aside from her eyes.
Julia sized her up. Other than having a slender figure, she looks no different from any other girl.
She put down the coffee cup in her hand and said, “Ms. Ada, since I hired you as my designer, let me know where you work. I’ll have the driver send you to your office tomorrow.”
Christina tensed up. I knew it. It’s not easy to fool Mrs. Hadley. Telling her where I work will expose my identity. “My workplace is not far from here, so there’s no need to go to the trouble to do that.”
Julia wanted to probe further, but Christina didn’t give her the chance. “I’ll go upstairs to work now.”
Christina stood up from the couch and headed upstairs.
Staring at Christina’s retreating figure, Julia felt an increasing sense of familiarity. Why does she remind me of that brat at Scenic Garden Manor?
However, on second thought, she found that to be implausible. The items designed by this Ada are intricate. How would that brat from Scenic Garden Manor be equipped with such outstanding skills? It must be just a similarity in body shape.
“Mrs. Hadley, I heard that talented designers can be quite unsociable. Will we upset her by doing this?” Helen asked concernedly.
Julia also thought Helen’s words made sense. I hired her here to make me dresses. So long as the job is done, it’s fine.
Christina didn’t let out a sigh of relief until after she entered the room. This is even more thrilling than walking on a tightrope.
She sat down before the sewing machine and began work diligently.
At that moment, the only thing on her mind was to finish the dress as soon as possible so she could leave the Hadley residence.
It wasn’t until late at night that Christina took a break She got to her feet and stretched her arms. The next day was the weekend, so she planned to work late that night.
Right then, her stomach growled with hunger. It’s already so late. I suppose Mrs. Hadley should be resting by
now.
She noticed the lights in the living room were still on when she went downstairs. She went into the kitchen and took out some ingredients from the refrigerator.
Not long after, she made a plate of spaghetti.
When she turned around to grab some utensils, a tall figure showed up behind her, scaring her out of
her wits.
