Within two rings, a cool and detached female voice came through. "Who is this?"
"Are you Ms. Stanton? I'm Toto, the new butler in Imperial Gardens. I accidentally messed up your cosmetics when I was cleaning your room earlier. Mr. Ferguson said to throw them all away and buy new ones, but I don't understand the words on the bottles..."
Toto's tone was quite aggrieved. Nicole’s cold and stern voice interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
"Don't throw them away! I'll go back right now. I'll kill you if you dare to throw my things!"
Eric, who was in the study, frowned deeply. He heard the voice outside the door loud and clear.
'That simple?!'
Nicole was not short of money or luxury items. Her cosmetics were all high-end formulas specially customized according to her skin and cost seven digits. Where would they buy new ones for her?
'Those two stupid men!’
Nicole forgot that she did not want to go back to Imperial Gardens. All she wanted was to rush back and check on her cosmetics.
She took her purse and returned to Imperial Gardens
with Luca.
Nicole stopped for a few seconds at the door.
The place where Quinn bled profusely earlier when she left was spotless.
It was as if that episode never happened at all.
As long as they did not cause trouble for her, Nicole did not intend to pursue it.
After all, Eric saved her so many times. If she insisted on this, the Fergusons would not be very happy either.
The door suddenly opened. A fat, round man ran out and came up to Nicole while panting heavily.
"Ms. Stanton?”
His eyes squinted as he smiled. "I'm Toto, the new butler. You're so beautiful! You're even prettier than those celebrities. Your beauty is in a league of its own and simply beyond description..."
Nicole stood there, frozen. A person with perfect manners and courtesy like her did not know how to act when she was praised by the fat man out of the blue.
Behind her, Luca finally grew impatient. "Are you done?"
"Oh my! You must be Ms. Stanton's bodyguard. You really fit the role so well! Your aura is much stronger than ordinary people. I heard that you've won the national championship several times. Gosh, you're so
amazing..."
