"Ms. Zhang, you are still a guest here at Dream Garden. Now that only you and I are left, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid Mr. Lu will scold me for it," Nancy said casually. She looked calm as she dealt with Leila.
"Nancy, I've told you this once before, and I'm going to say it again. You're just a servant here, and soon enough, I'll be the mistress around here. If you know what's good for you, you're going to behave and stay out of my way or else, who knows, what's going to happen to you when you grow old?"
After speaking, Leila carelessly slammed the door to her room shut.
Nancy was petrified. She didn't really like Leila, and Leila had gone too far this time. She wasn't even a mistress yet, and she was already acting like this.
Who knew what she would be capable of if she was to become the mistress? Nancy didn't even want to think about it.
Meanwhile, Leila had been preparing her stuff quickly. She was nervous that she didn't have time anymore as David had kept her busy for too long. She was anxious to see Charles.
She wanted to board her flight as soon as Melissa called her. She just wanted Charles to see her as soon as possible.
Upon thinking of this, Leila let out a soft chuckle.
Soon, she had finished packing. All she needed to do now was wait for Melissa's call.
Time passed by slowly as she waited for the call. She decided to call Holley while waiting. Now that Leila had handled a project herself, if she could help Charles with another one when they came back, she would impress him.
She called Holley as soon as she thought of this.
Holley was dealing with a lot these past few days, and she was constantly being watched by Rex's men too. How could she not worry?
When her cell phone rang, she trembled instinctively because she was afraid that it might be Ferry calling. He hadn't contacted her in a while, but she just refused to believe that he would let her go that easily.
During their last conversation, Ferry had been praising Holley, and she couldn't believe that Ferry was suddenly a nice guy because she was carrying Black's baby.
Her phone was still ringing. She took a deep breath and answered the phone, "What do you want?"
"Holley, are all pregnant women this hot-tempered?"
Leila was intimidated by the first words that Holley said. Why was she in a bad mood? That didn't make any sense.
She figured that despite Holley carrying Black's baby, the Hu family still hadn't accepted her. Leila laughed to herself upon thinking of this.
"Why are you laughing?"
Holley barked.
