The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 425

Penelope whipped out her phone, spotting several unread messages on WhatsApp from a friend she'd once had a meal with, messages she'd missed while sleeping.

She tapped the messages open.

"Penelope, remember me, Alice? We'd gone to the hot springs together. I was at a friend's birthday dinner today and saw Lucian eating with a woman named Allison."

Penelope froze. What? Lucian was having a meal with Allison? Allison had the nerve to approach Lucian again when she was not feeling well!

Penelope replied, "Alice, of course I remember you. I just woke up, let's hang out next time. Allison is a maid at my place, and she has met Lucian before. Maybe they just bumped into each other."

Although Penelope knew in her heart it was more than just a chance encounter, she had to play it off as a coincidence.

Soon, Alice replied. "Penelope, I didn't expect you to remember me."

Penelope didn't have the time or energy to chat with Alice, but she had to make polite conversation.

Alice said, "Then I might have misunderstood. When I first saw Allison, I thought she was you. Turns out she's your maid."

"Yes, she's worked at my place for many years, we've treated her well."

Alice said, "I thought she was your sister."

Penelope asked, "When did she have a meal with Lucian?"

"Just tonight, at a friend's birthday. We happened to be at the same restaurant."

Back in the Flanagan family days, Grace was the housekeeper, and Margo was her assistant. Margo's least favorite people were Grace and Allison.

Grace stepped forward, "Margo."

Margo scoffed. As she was about to give Grace a piece of her mind, Penelope's voice came from inside the room, "Is Grace here?"

Margo swallowed her words. "Yes, Ms. Flanagan."

She looked at Grace, "Go in, Ms. Flanagan is waiting for you."

As Grace entered, Margo shut the door and leaned in trying to eavesdrop on the conversation. Margo was puzzled. What was up with Ms. Flanagan? Why was she suddenly so respectful towards Grace?
