The butler did not know the true relationship between Celeste and Gary. When he heard that Gary was going to bring a girl back home, he immediately assumed that the girl was Gary's girlfriend.
"No," Gary frowned and quickly stopped the butler from making wild guesses, "Stop talking nonsense."
"She isn't?" The butler said with a hearty laugh, "Master Gary, I understand now. She's not your girlfriend, just a friend who is a girl."
Although the butler said that he understood, his heart wasn't thinking the same way.
Since Master Gary was willing to bring a girl back home, his relationship with this girl must be extraordinary.
Hearing the butler's perfunctory tone and his shady tone, Gary's brows furrowed even more.
He glanced at Janice, who was sitting next to him.
Janice was also looking at him.
She bit her lips while fluttering her big eyes. She had put on bright, cherry red lipstick today, making her lips seem unnaturally scarlet.
Gary was a little shocked by her lip colour when he saw her at the police station. He thought that her lips were so red it could scare people away. Back then, he had teased her, "You're not Janice. Aren't you a vampire?"
Janice saw him and started bursting into tears after she heard him tease her. She hugged Gary tightly, as though he were her savior. At that moment, she looked so pitiful.
"Alright," The butler didn't seem to care anymore and continued to ask, "Master Gary, should we let this young lady stay in the room that used to be yours?"
Gary was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, the butler added, "Master Gary, are you guys staying together in the same room? Or are you staying separately?"
"No," Gary refuted lividly, "Arrange a new one for her. Mr. Butler, is there something wrong with your ears? Do not mess it up."
"Sure!" The butler replied immediately.
Secretly, he was amused that Gary sounded flustered.
"Get another room for her. Aren't there a lot of empty rooms in the house? Do not simply touch rooms that already belong to other people. Just allocate the guest rooms that are empty," Gary instructed once again.
"Sure, Master Gary. I'll arrange a new room for her," The butler quickly hung up the phone and went to clean up the guest room.
As soon as Janice saw Gary hung up the phone, she looked at him with a grin, "Your butler is so funny."
"Why do you say that?" Gary glanced at her and asked, "What did you hear?"
"Your butler actually misunderstood that I was your girlfriend," Janice laughed playfully at him, "He's too funny! Doesn't he know that you have a girlfriend?"
Gary glanced at her in silence after hearing her statement. He did not say anything.
"It seems like he doesn't know," Janice shrugged, "Hey, by the way, why didn't you bring your girlfriend along?"
"She had something to do today," Gary answered.
"Oh," Janice curled her lips and said regretfully, "Too bad. I didn't get a chance to see your girlfriend. I would really like to meet her someday."
Gary did not feel like talking to Janice, so he drove quickly back to the villa.
As soon as they entered the villa, Janice was amazed at how the surrounding felt very peaceful and quiet. It was as if everything here was slowpaced, unlike the hustle and bustle in the city.
"This place is really nice," Janice sighed, "Hey, are you living here now?"
"No," Gary grunted.
"Your girlfriend doesn't live here too?"
"Exactly."
"What about your younger brother and cousin?" Janice asked again.
"They've gone back home."
"Does that mean I will be alone?"
"There will be a butler, servants and a driver," Gary explained calmly, "You won't be alone. There will be plenty of food for you, and you also get a place to stay. Shouldn't you be satisfied?"
Despite his words, Janice still looked at him and complained sadly, "You are leaving me here alone, while you go off to enjoy life and spend time with your girlfriend?
"Yes!" Gary snapped, "You've already disturbed me for a very long time today. What else do you want from me?"
"I want you guys to take me along and show me around," Janice insisted, "I haven't enjoyed myself enough here. Let's hang out together, it would be
so much fun!" "I am not available."
"Will your girlfriend be free?"
"She won't be free either."
