With that thought in mind, Nicole smiled faintly and replied in a distant manner, “Thank you, Mr. Seet.”
Just as she spoke, she continued her work and didn’t touch the cup of tea.
However, Evan wasn’t used to her thanking him. He was expecting her to take a sip and complain about the tea’s temperature and quality. Or perhaps, suspect that he had some ulterior motives and warn him off instead.
What happened? Why is her attitude so…
He felt a sudden unease creep into his heart, as if the Nicole sitting in front of him wasn’t the Nicole he knew. In fact, she felt more like a stranger.
In less than two hours, Nicole saved the work she had done.
“Mr. Seet, please check through.”
Just as she spoke, she got up and stood by the side, just like an ordinary employee waiting for her work to be inspected. Her expression remained indifferent throughout.
Evan approached her and read through the document. “Your salary will be paid by the month, is there a problem?”
“No.”
“Alright. Tomorrow night, you will translate like what you did today. I’ll get a babysitter to cook for the children. So you don’t have to worry about time.”
“Thank you. In that case, I’ll take my leave.”
With that, she turned to leave.
As Evan watched her walk away, he seriously suspected that the woman who just left wasn’t Nicole at all.
At the rear house.
The kids were arguing and running circles around Davin.
“Stop, stop arguing! If the few of you yell any louder, the whole roof would collapse on us.”
“Uncle Davin, tell us whose fault is it?”
“Juan is shifting the blame.”
“It’s Maya. She secretly put the jigsaw puzzle into her special pocket.”
“Mommy shouldn’t have sewn her such a big pocket.”
Maya shifted her eyes around as she was surprised that Nina complained about her special pocket.
If Mommy didn’t sew the pocket for me to put my snacks, what am I going to do when I’m hungry?
Nina is being too much for having something against the pocket.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Reaching out with her chubby hands, she gave Nina a forceful slap.
