By the time Sasha awoke, it was already dark.
Opening her eyes, she saw a dim yellow light above her head. When she noticed the unfamiliar surroundings, she was stunned and wondered where she was.
It wasn’t until she started moving that she heard the sound of water splashing from next door.
What’s that?
She got up at once.
“Dr. West, you’re awake. Did I disturb you?” Just when the flow of water stopped, a figure came out of the bathroom.
Sasha was briefly stunned before she recognized the person as one of the servants.
“No. What are you doing here? Where’s Mr. Hayes?”
When she finally remembered that this was his room, she quickly got up.
Oh no, how did I fall asleep? I was supposed to get him when I was ready with the equipment. But why did I end up sleeping instead? Furthermore, I even slept on his bed!
Beginning to panic, Sasha jumped off the bed at once.
“Mr. Hayes is chatting with Old Mr. Jadeson. Dr. West, Mr. Hayes has instructed that this will be your room. How would you like to decorate it? I’ll help you redo the place.”
“What?”
Sasha’s eyes opened wide in shock.
For me? Why? This is his room. Why is he giving it to me? Is it because I have slept on his bed?
Sasha heart skipped a beat.
However, she had no time to think about that as she had heard a piece of even more frightening news.
Jonathan had arrived.
Furthermore, he was chatting with Sebastian.
Da*n it, why do I have to be given such a shock the moment I awake?
Putting on her shoes, Sasha began running out of the room.
“You don’t have to, I won’t be staying here at night. As for the blanket, you can throw it away if Mr. Hayes thinks it’s too dirty. I’ll pay for it.”
With that, she rushed downstairs at once.
She wasn’t going to stay over for the night which was agreed upon before she came. Firstly, she had a daughter at home. Secondly, Jonathan wouldn’t allow a nurse to live there.
She ran downstairs in a panic.
As for the maid upstairs, she didn’t pay any heed to Sasha’s instructions.
Instead, she picked up the blanket that Sasha had dropped and began tidying up the room.
Mr. Hayes wasn’t kidding when he said it.
