Chapter ６

Edmund stood up and was about to wash his hands when the doorbell rang.

Oarlan was making an ice pack for me, so she didn't have time to open the door. Edmund went to open the door directly.

As soon as I raised my head, I saw Alvin come in with a smile on his face.

Edmund gave him a cold look, turned around and walked into the living room. He sat down directly on the sofa next to me. We sat side by side. We were very close to each other, and our bodies were almost pressed together.

I can't stand such a close distance, but now my feet are still held by Oarlan, and I can't move freely, so I have to endure it silently.

Alvin entered the living room and saw me sitting on the sofa. His expression became very complicated.

"Miss Leanna, what are you doing?" he asked with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Mr.Alvin, why are you here?" When I saw Alvin, my first reaction was to stand up, but as soon as I moved my body a little, my feet were caught by Oarlan, so I had to sit up obediently.

Alvin's POV

Only then did I notice that Leanna's ankle was red and swollen. I realized that she sprained her ankle.

"Miss Leanna, are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"

In fact, when I saw Edmund sit next to Leanna, I understood why Venus was rejected.

It seemed that this big shot who could control everything had a crush on Leanna.

Leanna, why are you so lucky?

"No, No. It's not very serious. It'll be fine later." Leanna shook her head.

I like Leanna's personality of not bringing trouble to others. I nodded and looked at Edmund. "Mr. Edmund, Venus said that you are not satisfied with the housekeeper we arranged for you. On behalf of the club, I apologize for the trouble. I hope you can give us an opportunity to make up."

"Do you know how to improve?" Edmund didn't even look at me.

I already knew what he meant. "I know, I know. Mr. Edmund doesn't like to change a new Butler, so I'd better let Miss Leanna continue to serve you..."

Leanna's POV

"Mr.Alvin, i..."

Let me go. I don't want to stay with Edmund any longer.

"You want to refuse?" Edmund raised his eyebrows and said in a firm tone.

"No, Mr. Edmund. I... I'm not the Housekeeping Department, so I'm afraid...".

But before I could finish my words, he said indifferently, "I don't mind."

"It's not just because I'm not good at business, but I... and... You see, my feet are injured now, and I really can't provide service for you..." this excuse was always reasonable, wasn't it?

"It doesn't matter. Your work will be temporarily replaced by Oarlan until your feet are fully recovered."

"But..." I frowned. I was really afraid of him and didn't dare to stay with him.

"It seems that Miss Leanna really doesn't want to stay to serve me." When he said this, his tone was full of regret. He leaned back on the sofa and raised his hands to hold the back of his head.

I still wanted to refuse, but Alvin interrupted me and said to Edmund, "no, no... Miss Leanna, how could she be unwilling?" Then he looked at me and said, "Miss Leanna, it's rare for Mr. Edmund to appreciate you so much. Just serve Mr. Edmund well."

"Mr.Alvin..." I bit my lips, unwillingly.

"Although the problems you mentioned are all big problems, Mr. Edmund is generous. You don't want to miss such a good opportunity to improve yourself, do you?" After saying that, Alvin added, "you know what benefits will be offered to the outstanding employees of our company this year, right? Haven't you always wanted to go to England to visit your sister?"

"Do you mean that travel to England this year?" Hearing this, my eyes finally lit up.

"There are only a few outstanding employees. Miss Leanna, you have a good chance." Alvin smiled knowingly.

"Yes, I will serve Mr. Edmund well. Mr.Alvin, please rest assured." I'm excited.

Oarlan's POV

I squatted on the ground and saw Mr Edmund's face was as dark as coal. He tried hard to hold back his laughter and sighed in his heart, 'Mr. Prsident, I didn't expect you to be less charming than a ticket to England. What a pity!'!

After persuading Leanna, Alvin apologized to the president again and left the presidential suite.

As soon as Alvin left, the CEO stood up from the sofa and turned back to his room.

Although there is not much expression on his face, I know that the president is very unhappy at the moment.

Leanna's POV

I had a rest for the whole morning. By the afternoon, my feet were almost all right.

After Edmund and Oarlan went out, I called the room service to clean the room.

I didn't expect to see the excited Cecily in front of me.

"Miss Leanna, I'm here to clean up." She pushed the cleaning car into the door.

I was a little surprised to see her. "Why are you here alone?"

Cecily blinked at me and said, "yes, I changed shift on purpose and came here alone."

"You can clean it by yourself?" I looked at her in confusion.

With a smile, she poked me in the arm and said, "I still have you, manager."

I'm speechless. What's wrong with her?

She picked up the duster cloth and went straight to the master bedroom to work.

I had no choice but to do the cleaning with her.

"Manager, what kind of person is Mr. Edmund? I think he looks very serious. Is he the same in private?" Cecily asked while wiping the table.

"Okay." I replied casually, but the image of him on the bed appeared in my mind.

Realizing that I was thinking too much, I immediately shook my head and scolded myself for thinking too much.

In fact, it's not my fault. After all, I've seen Edmund in bed in private.

"Isn't it terrible to work with him?" Cecily took it for granted.

It was really terrible. Who knew what he would do next second.

"But I think he treats you very well. Today, he helped you beat that drunken guest, didn't he?" Cecily asked curiously.

"Really?" Is he good to me? How could it be possible?

"Yes, yes. I also heard that Venus wanted to replace you, but was refused by Mr. Edmund. She was so angry that she cried in the office. It can be seen how much Mr. Edmund likes you." As she spoke, she put her face in front of me and asked mysteriously, "manager, you and Mr. Edmund, are you..."

Realizing that she had misunderstood him, I immediately stopped her and said, "stop, don't think too much. There is nothing between Mr. Edmund and me."

"Then why did he hold your hand this morning?" Cecily blinked at me with a snicker.

I don't know how to refute this fact. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Squinting, I looked at Cecily and said, "Why are you so diligent today? You took the initiative to clean the presidential suite. It turns out that your real purpose to get to the bottom."

"Manager, don't be angry. I'm just curious, so I come to ask. After all, if you become a rich lady by accident, I can also get some benefit from it, right?" Cecily stuck out her tongue naughtily.

"You still sayomg..." I was amused and angry. I threw away the rag in my hand and was about to scratch her.

Cecily hurried to hide herself from the bedside table

"Eh... Why do these earrings look so familiar?" She stopped playing and picked up the earrings to look at them carefully.

"What earrings?" I also looked in the direction of her voice.

"Isn't this a birthday gift from you, Miss Leanna?" Cecily picked up the ear studs and tried to compare them with mine.

I didn't know that one of my earrings was missing. I reached out to touch my left ear and found that there was indeed nothing on it, and the other diamond earring was firmly worn on my right ear.

"Manager, you also said that you had nothing to do with Mr. Edmund. Now I have the evidence of." Cecily raised the ear stud in her hand with a snicker.

I was confused. What happened?

Why are my earrings on Edmund's bedside table?

Did I leave it at the club last night?

If that's the case, then does Edmund know that I had sex with him last night?

But no, if he knew, why didn't he mention it?

Or he didn't say it on purpose just to avoid trouble, just like me?

"Manager? Manager?" Cecily waved her hand and asked, "what are you thinking about?"

When I came to my senses, I took the ear studs from her hand and smiled unnaturally. "Don't think too much. Maybe I dropped it and was picked up by Mr. Edmund. He didn't give them back to me yet."

"Is that so?" Obviously, she didn't believe . "Anyway, manager, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your relationship with Mr. Edmund. I came here to clean the room alone today to keep it a secret."

I smiled bitterly. How could you clean the house alone? You are here to increase my workload.
