The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 144

"..." Mika was speechless for a couple of seconds.

"Trust me, Harvey Harrison isn't as terrifying as you think. He has a bad temper, yes, but he doesn't just go around acting like a lunatic for no reason.

As long as you take good care of the Professor, do your job diligently, never take advantage of him, and treat him like family... who knows? Harvey might even reward you."

Harvey Harrison. The fifth male lead in the novel.

He was ruthless, decisive, and had built a massive empire from the ground up. He certainly didn't tolerate any nonsense.

But he wasn't a rabid dog.

He frequently visited his father, Professor Harrison, because the older man was so gentle and agreeable that those close to him constantly tried to take advantage of him.

The first housekeeper was fired because she bragged wildly about working for him and gossiped about his private life.

The second took bribes, colluded with outsiders to orchestrate meetings with the Professor, and pocketed the grocery money, feeding him cheap, plain food under the guise of it being healthy. She ultimately caused him to be hospitalized for malnutrition.

The third was quite literally a spy sent by a foreign research institute to steal his highly sensitive academic files. If she didn't go to prison, who would?

More importantly, if Damaris worked at the Professor's house, Mika would have a chance to cross paths with Harvey.

It felt a bit like setting her mom up, but Mika had read the plot and knew Harvey wouldn't pose an actual threat to her.

Otherwise, why was the Professor's house the center of so much drama, and not Harvey's own mansion?

It was simple: under Harvey's watchful eye, no staff member would dare step out of line.

But seeing how amiable the Professor was, greedy people couldn't help but try to exploit him.

"Alright then, I'll go!"

After spending the last few days together, Damaris had practically made Mika her new emotional pillar.

Hearing her mother's report, Mika breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since he's such a wonderful employer, you absolutely must do your job perfectly. Do not, under any circumstances, slack off or take advantage of him just because he's nice.

As long as you treat him well, Harvey won't do anything to you. But if you cross the line and make a mistake yourself, absolutely no one can save you. Do you understand?"

Although Mika knew her mother was hardworking at home, it was human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.

She had to lay down the law early so Damaris wouldn't try to pull any fast ones and end up offending Harvey.

"Don't worry, don't worry! I'm not that kind of person!"

Damaris interrupted confidently, then suddenly remembered something. "Gotta go. It's almost ten and the Professor is getting ready for bed. I need to take him a glass of warm milk!"

She was making thousands of dollars a month! She had to make sure the Professor was treated like royalty!
