When Celia heard the word "home", the expression on her face changed slightly.
Jim noticed it carefully. He coughed and explained with a smile, "Miss Celia, Mr. Hans said that you haven't fully recovered. He asked me to go to the domestic company to find a girl who is simple and diligent. On the one hand, she can take care of your daily life. On the other hand, she can talk with you to relieve your boredom. Cassie just graduated from high school. Although she has no work experience, I have asked her to try it yesterday and taught her how to use those appliances. You can rest assured, Miss Celia."
''Why does Hans hire a nanny? Isn't it enough for him to monitor me by Jim?'
This conjecture flashed through Celia's mind, but she didn't show it on her face.
She looked at Cassie up and down carefully and found that this girl was good-looking, with timid but crystal clear eyes. Celia couldn't help smiling and saying, "Thank you in advance."
"Miss Celia, it's my pleasure. I will take good care of you."
Cassie was a little excited and at a loss. She didn't expect that a woman living in such a villa would be so kind.
Celia turned to Jim and asked, "Jim, what's the phone number of Hans?"
Jim was stunned. He seemed to be hesitating whether he should tell her or not. Celia explained slowly, "Don't worry. I just want to say thanks to him. I won't disturb him."
Hans hadn't shown up in the past two days, but she didn't care about it either. There was no emotion but only transaction between them. They had nothing to do with each other.
If possible, she wished he would never appear. But at this moment, she didn't know why she had such an idea to make a call to express her gratitude to him.
Or maybe she wanted to know from him whether he had hired this girl to spy on her.
No matter what the reason was, she didn't hate the girl who had clear eyes. Perhaps he really found her a companion.
Hearing her words, Jim blushed and told her the phone number awkwardly. Celia didn't avoid them and dialed the number. Hans had called her that afternoon, but she had deleted the record angrily at that time, so she had to ask Jim for the number now.
A few seconds later, in a low and lazy voice, Hans answered the phone, "Celia, do you miss me again?"
At this moment, Hans had just finished dealing with an important matter. His slender body leaned slightly against the back of the chair, and he was sipping tea while his big palm with clear knuckles was gently holding a purple sand cup. He had Celia's number on his phone, and when he saw that it was her calling, a trace of surprise flashed through his heart, and then he sneered.
Celia frowned slightly, but she didn't lose her temper. She pursed her lips and said indifferently, "Thank you, Hans."
"For what?"
The person on the other end of the phone asked in confusion.
Hearing the imperceptible confusion in his words, Celia chuckled and teased, "Thank you for finding me a companion. My wound hasn't healed yet, and no one is cooking for me. Maybe I will starved to death."
Although she was out of the hospital, the scald on her hands were very serious. Now she was in the healing period and her hands could not get wet.
"Ha ha, how can I let you starve to death? I'm busy with the company affairs these two days and I didn't go to see you. I'll go home and have dinner with you tonight."
There was a knock on the door and Hans spoke gently, "Come in." The door of the office opened and Tom came in.
The man's bright laughter pierced through her ear. Celia's heart trembled slightly. His tone seemed to be talking to a lover, but he emphasized the two words "accompany you" a little bit, which implied something else. Thinking of this, she could not help but blush. She remembered what happened that night.
"Go ahead with your work. I have to hang up."
"Be good at home. I'll go back after work."
In fact, what she wanted to say was that he didn't need to send someone to monitor her, but when the phone was connected and she heard his low and lazy voice, she changed what she wanted to say.
"Boss, that man has met with Emily yesterday. The result is very good."
