Sleep eluded Caleb that night.
Somehow, he was reluctant to let Ceres leave. Although Caleb and Ceres had known each other for a short while and had not spoken to each other much, he always felt a kinship with Ceres.
Caleb never took the initiative to have a godson or goddaughter. When he claimed Ceres to be his goddaughter, he couldn't believe that she refused.
Caleb sat up from the bed and murmured, "What a wicked girl! She made me embarrassed. If this gets out, I will lose my face!"
The next morning, Caleb, who had not slept well, was in a bad mood. When he was eating breakfast, he felt that everything was offending his eyes.
Roy noticed that something was wrong with Caleb, so after Caleb finished his breakfast, Roy said, "Mr. Caleb, it seems that you are not feeling well. Why don't you go to the hot spring to have a rest?"
Caleb also intended to take a bath in hot springs, but it was a little bit weird to do that in the morning. Now he could take Roy's suggestion, making his action reasonable.
"Alright, I'll go to refresh myself."
Caleb said as he walked towards the hot spring room.
When he arrived, he was surrounded by a group of servants. However, he didn't see Ceres.
"Where's the girl called Carly? Why isn't she here?" Caleb asked.
Ceres was supposed to continue working hard till the last minute. She was on duty last night, so she had to make a handover with the people in the hot spring room this morning. Besides, it was only right to say goodbye to him after working for a while.
"She has already left." The head of the hot spring room replied.
"She left? She hasn't finished her work yet. Why did she leave? What an irresponsible girl! She didn't work properly with her salary!" Caleb immediately lost his temper.
"Carly has been here for half a month, but she didn't take her salary when she left," the person in charge smiled awkwardly.
Ceres left without taking her salary. There was no ground for blame.
"Miss Carly came early in the morning. The handover work had been done." The person in charge added.
It was Caleb who came late.
Roy also felt helpless. Caleb snorted angrily and walked out of the hot spring room.
"She was supposed to say goodbye! Who cares about her?"
Caleb started to curse as soon as he left.
Roy followed behind him, holding back his laughter.
Caleb was just like a child, so Roy just played along.
"Mr. Caleb, where are we going?" Roy asked.
"Go to work! Where else can I go?" Caleb shouted.
He was supposed to go to work.
Thus, Caleb was going to the Bullock Group by car.
Roy, who sat at Caleb's side, heard him muttering a few words, "Why did she leave? Why didn't she say goodbye to me?"
Then, Caleb suddenly said, "How dare you?"
Roy turned to look at Caleb and asked, "Mr. Caleb, what's wrong?"
"I wanted to claim her to be my goddaughter, but she refused me! No way! If this gets out, I will lose face!" Caleb shouted.
"Uh..." Roy didn't know what to say.
"This is the only road outside the manor. It's hard to take a taxi on this road. We might find her if we keep going. Drive slowly and pay attention to the pedestrians on the road." Caleb commanded the driver.
"Mr. Caleb, are you really going to claim Miss Carly to be your goddaughter?" Roy asked.
