"You can go to sleep first." Stanley rubbed his eyebrows.
Violet looked at him, "What about you?"
"I have a video conference. I have to work in the study for a while."
"Okay, don’t be so tired." Violet nodded.
Stanley gave a hmm and walked towards the study.
Violet went back to the room. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed.
However, she was not sleepy yet, so she picked up the design notebook and pencil, then begun to draw the design drawing.
After drawing three or four pictures, she was thirsty. Then she put down the pen and design book in her hands, lifted the quilt and got out of the bed, ready to go to the coffee table opposite the bed to get some water.
But, when she got to the coffee table and picked up the kettle, she found that there was no water in it.
Violet had to put down the kettle, ready to go downstairs to get some water.
The moment when Violet walked out of the bedroom, she heard the door opening.
The sound came from the end of the corridor, where was Stanley's study.
She thought it was Stanley who came back after the meeting, so she turned her head to look, but what she saw was Ivy wearing a suspender nightdress and coming out of Stanley's study.
This scene immediately caused Violet to narrow her beautiful eyes, "Miss Ellis!"
Ivy hadn't noticed Violet. When she heard Violet’s voice, she trembled in fright and then turned her head to look.
Seeing Violet's face gloomy, she immediately understood something. She tucked the wig near her ear and said with a faint smile, "Miss Hunt, it's so late. You haven't slept yet?"
Violet let go of the doorknob and walked towards Ivy, "Yeah, you haven't slept, either. You’re still in the mood to run around, and ran to my husband's study."
Hearing the coldness in Violet's tone, Ivy only felt happy.
She raised the coffee cup in her hand, "I was thirsty just now. Then I went downstairs to drink water and found that Stanley was not asleep yet, so I made a cup of coffee and brought it up for him. Please don't mind it, Miss Hunt."
"I don't mind!" Violet crossed her arms on her chest, "Miss Ellis is willing to do this kind of things which should be servants’ work. How can I mind it?"
"You said I'm a servant?" Ivy's eyes widened in astonishment. She looked at Violet in disbelief.
Violet curled her lips, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself. I just said that Miss Ellis likes to do something what servants supposed to do."
Ivy clenched her fists, trembling with anger.
Didn't it mean she was a servant?
"Miss Hunt, don't you think you’ve gone too far?" Ivy's eyes gradually turned red. She looked at Violet angrily.
Violet lowered her eyes and smiled, "I've gone too far? How can I compare to you? You didn't sleep at night, but dressed like this and ran to my husband’s study. Is it to deliver coffee or have other purposes? I think you should be very clear. I don't need to say it out, right?"
Ivy’s eyes flickered. Then she lowered her head, “It turns out that Miss Hunt is so aggressive towards me because I am wearing like this. I’m sorry, Miss Hunt. I’m really just going to sleep so I dress like this. There really is no other meaning. Please don't get me wronged."
"Okay, I don't want to argue with you whether your pajamas are a misunderstanding. I only hope that you can pay attention to it in the future and stop wearing it like this to get in and out of my husband's study. In addition, your room is on the second floor. Please don’t go to the third floor. Thank you."
After saying this, Violet stopped looking at Ivy, retracted her gaze, and went downstairs.
But what she said was like a thorn and stuck in Ivy's heart, making Ivy extremely embarrassed.
Because Violet said so directly and asked her not to go up to the third floor in the future. If she came up again, it would prove that she really wanted to seduce Stanley.
This trick was so ruthless!
Watching Violet go downstairs, Ivy clenched her fists tightly. A crazy thought flashed in her mind.
That was to push Violet down. As long as Violet fell down the stairs, she would definitely die.
