Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 Timothy's New Girlfriend

The Thomas family mansion was strangely silent. When they entered the house, the housekeeper immediately walked toward them. "Mr. Thomas, you are finally back. Miss Paula has not eaten today. If this goes on... This is..." The housekeeper's gaze landed on Daryl. "This is my fiancée. Tidy up a room for her." Paul frowned, introducing her in an icy tone. He looked at the housekeeper and ordered, "If

Paula still refuses to eat, just feed her via the feeding tube."

"Alright, understood," the housekeeper responded hesitantly before continuing with her chores.

Paul showed Daryl around the house. Having shown all the rooms to her, they walked to a room with the door tightly shut.

There were two brutish-looking men standing guard outside the room.

Paul frigidly introduced, "This is my sister's room. She has been having bouts of bad mood recently, so try not to provoke her."

"I heard that she is on a hunger strike?" Daryl asked curiously.

"You just need to carry out your duties as my wife. You don't need to worry about these small things. There's a housekeeper taking care of

her, so she won't starve to death."

Paul sounded like he was concerned about her and he didn't want her to worry about trivial matters, but she still heard the disaffection

and indifference in his tone.

Seeing the disappointment on her face, he added, "Although my parents are not from a scholarly family, they were very strict with our

upbringing, so Paula is a little rebellious. I'm asking you to interact with her less often to ensure that you won't be hurt."

Daryl nodded silently. Paul reminded her of a few more things before returning to the study to do some work

It was not difficult to tell that the family was very strict from the way he had control over the house staff.

The staff did things in an orderly manner and they never crossed the line. They were also very respectful to her. Everyone had a serious

expression on their face, which was very different from her own happy family.

She felt extremely bored and she couldn't stop thinking about Paula's room.

After thinking about it, she made a cup of coffee and gently pushed open the door to Paul's study.

In his study, Paul was staring at the computer screen. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he quickly opened a new window, but Daryl still

saw the photo of Lucia on the monitor.

She pretended she saw nothing and put the coffee on the table. Her gaze then fell on the family photo of four in the photo frame next to

her.

Following her gaze, Paul slammed the photo frame down on the table and said, "In the future, you are not allowed to enter the study

without my permission. Also, remember to knock on the door."

"I'm sorry." Daryl tried her best to stop her trembling heart and explained softly, "My father is a very laid-back person, that's why I

don't have the habit of knocking on the door before entering a room. I will definitely knock in the future."

"In the future, just let the staff handle small matters like making coffee." Paul nodded.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I was worried about Paula, so I wanted to ask if I could go see her in her room," Daryl said meekly.

When Paul heard this, his kind attitude immediately withered.

Lucia was a well-behaved and sensible girl. She would never do anything against his will. And the woman in front of him had just got

here. She had already made unreasonable demands time and time again.

She had to be exactly like Lucia, otherwise why would he marry her?

His expression became colder and colder as he thought about it, "I already told you to stay out of her way. Do you not understand?" Daryl was shocked by his reaction and was at a loss for words.

She did not understand. They were siblings, why did he have to treat Paula with such hostility?

"Then I will let you get back to your work. I'm going home in the afternoon to pack my clothes. I will come back at night." Her voice was a little subdued. She casually made up an excuse to leave the Thomas family mansion. The house was so gloomy that she felt suffocated. She quickly left the study and saw the housekeeper standing at the door of Paula's room with a tray of food. She immediately called the

helper and motioned for the housekeeper to hand the tray to her.

"Madam Daryl, Mr. Thomas said that we must personally deliver the tray to Miss Paula's room." The housekeeper was feeling a little

helpless.

Daryl's eyebrows immediately furrowed together. She then used her status as the mistress of the house and asked coldly, "So, if you have to listen to Paul's instructions, are you going to disobey me? If Miss Paula really doesn't want to eat, are you really going to tie her up

and force-feed her?"

"Well..." The housekeeper was speechless for a moment, but she still showed no intention of handing over the plate.

"Don't worry. As long as you keep this a secret between us, no one will know that I was the one who delivered this meal to Paula." While the housekeeper was hesitating, she quickly snatched the plate from her and signaled the bodyguards on both sides to open the

door.

At this moment, Paula was so thin that she was only skin and bones.

Lying in her bed, she looked very pale. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she did not even raise her eyelids. She spoke slowly

in a weak voice, "Take it away. I don't want to eat."

Daryl felt a little distressed when she saw Paula in such a destitute state. She spoke gently, "It's your body. If you keep starving yourself,

you will never have the chance to walk out of this room."

When she heard an unfamiliar voice of a woman in the room, Paula raised her head with difficulty and looked at the woman in front of

her. "Who are you?"

"I am your brother's girlfriend. I came here just to see you."
