Chapter 1199
It was a fact that her own family disliked her.
Julie tightened her lips. She curled her lips into a smile and said, “If you‘re not bothered by it, that‘s great. But if you need any help, just tell me. John cares about you, which makes you my friend. If I can do anything to help, I will do anything within my capabilities.”
Although Sherry did not know why Julie approached her with goodwill, she put on a polite expression and thanked her. “Well, thank you in advance, Julie.”
Julie said, “Don‘t mention it.”
Sherry then walked off without pause.
The Stocktons‘ residence was huge, bigger than Sherry could imagine. The gardens alone were a few times bigger than a common house outside.
She took a long stroll around the garden before she came back.
Because her stomach was growling in hunger, she wanted to search for something to eat, but she accidentally arrived at Queenie‘s place where she saw Queenie helping herself to a table of snacks and pastries.
It was a feast for the girl, so assuming that the girl could not finish them, she went up and snatched a piece to put into her mouth.
Queenie was stunned for quite a while before she realized that Sherry had just eaten one of her pastries. She glared and grumbled, but Sherry ignored her and continued eating.
Queenie was both speechless and breathless. After a while, she sat down sulking and glared at Sherry.
It was until Hailey pushed another cart of pastries over that Queenie bolted up and went over to the cart to protect it as though she was a mother lion protecting her cubs from hunters.
Sherry was surprised to see Hailey here. “Why are you here?”
Haily was similarly surprised. “That should be my question to you. Shouldn‘t you be at the master‘s place? What are you doing here? Don‘t you know you are breaking the rules by running away from your workplace during working hours?”
Queenie was confused. “What are you two talking about?”
The rich chocolate taste and the creamy vanilla were a perfect combination on the tongue
Queenie grunted while Hailey pouted in silence.
John usually left for work early in the moming and came home late at night. He would leave for work again after dinner.
He only spent a handful of days at home, so other than being ordered around, Sherry lived a rather carefree life,
Julie was polite to her whereas Shannon dared not do anything to her because of her reputation, and no one else dared to order her around, especially the other maids.
Sherry slept when she was tired and freeloaded at Queenie‘s place when she was hungry.
The carefree days went on for half a month.
On this particular night, when John stayed out again, Sherry got off work and returned to the staff quarters where she ran into Emerence holding a meeting with the other maids.
