In other words, he may have been able to force his way in to stay here but his meals were not of her concern.
It was up to himself to get fed and clothed.
Due to this, Janet thought that a certain somebody would blow up.
However, to her surprise, the man glanced at her faintly and said, “I’ve already dismissed the Filipino maid for you.”
Janet was dumbfounded.
“What?”
Liam frowned.
“Didn’t you hear me clearly?”
“No, who gave you the right to dismiss my Filipino maid?”
Liam let out a cold grin.
“Why shouldn’t I when she can help you escape?”
Janet had so much pent-up anger in her.
“I said I won’t run. Look at me, where can I run to?”
Liam ignored her. “You have no credibility whatsoever. I don’t trust you.”
Janet did not reply to him.
She gritted her teeth, barely able to contain her anger.
“Tell me then, with the maid gone, what will I be eating and drinking? Am I going to make my meals with this huge belly?”
Liam took a glance at her.
He seemed like he was contemplating something.
“It’s not undoable if you put your mind to it.”
“Liam Jackman!!”
Seeing as the woman was like an agitated kitten with its fur standing up, it put Liam in a better mood.
“Don’t worry, I was only fooling with you. Did you think I’m a cold-blooded person like you?”
With that, he clapped his hand and a blonde woman with baby blue eyes walked in with a smile.
“This is the new maid I hired for you. Oh, she used to be a confinement nurse so compared to your clumsy Filipino maid, she’s better suited for you.”
Liam had the new maid greet Janet.
The new maid was called Candy. Her looks were ordinary but she had a rather enthusiastic character, spurting a bunch of stuff of her expertise to Janet.
Janet was seething but it was not the time and place to blow off the steam. Regardless, Candy was innocent in this matter; it was not ideal to vent out on her. Hence, Janet nodded and complied.
Seeing that Janet had no opinion on the matter, Liam dismissed Candy to prepare a meal while he grabbed a book and sat on the sofa to read.
Enraged by Liam’s actions of making himself at home, Janet turned and returned to the bedroom.
…
In the afternoon, Nell was done with her break, ready for hair and makeup for the afternoon shoot when she received Janet’s call.
She was currently working on a series in an urban professional setting. The female lead was a senior executive in a headhunter company who was caught in a story between romance and career.
Nell had never acted in a drama revolving around the professional world, so to her, this was a challenge.
The moment Janet’s call came in, Nell raised her hand for the makeup artist to stop for a moment. She then got up and walked to a corner before picking up.
“Jan, what’s up?”
“Nell...”
On the other end, Janet tried to speak but simply could not find the words.
Nell frowned at her unusual tone and asked out of concern, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
