She sat with uneasiness. Amelia was standing beside her and looking at her. She thought inside her heart, why master called her here?
Maybe it was the same feeling, Amelia could feel that Lacey loved Charles too.
However, compared to Lacey, she hoped that Loredana would be Charles’ wife.
She was just a servant. Even though she loved Charles, she could only keep that inside her heart. In future, Charles needed to have a marriage.
She could not tell anything bad about Lacey. She just felt that Loredana was more kind and was a more perfect match for Charles.
At that moment, Tom pushed Charles in. Amelia quickly went there to welcome him, “Master.”
Charles was down today. He did not want to talk. He waved his hands to instruct her to do her own business, “Lacey, follow me.”
Then, he rolled his wheelchair and headed to the study room.
Lacey stood up and followed him to the study room.
In the living room, Amelia approached Tom, “What had happened to master? He seems unhappy and having some thinking in his heart.”
Amelia took care of Charles’ living. Tom was Charles’ helper for the office work. Both of them were close to Charles and understood him well.
Tom looked at the shutting door and sighed, “Ms. Ward put master into trouble.”
“What trouble did she give?”
Amelia stared and thought inside her heart, Lacey was not a perfect match for Charles indeed.
Tom looked at Amelia, “Mind your business will do, don’t mind other’s.”
“But, master…”
Amelia would like to ask more but Tom walked away and he did not wish to discuss the issue further.
Charles did not like other people to discuss his business.
Amelia pursed her mouth and started at Tom’s back. She thought Tom was very mean.
She thought inside her heart, she would not tell anything to Tom when he asked her for something in future.
In the study room, Charles sat in front of his desk. He flipped open a file and browsed through it.
Lacey stood in front of the desk. She did not dare to voice out a single word.
After a while, Charles seemed to recall that there was someone else inside the room. Without lifting his head, he asked slowly, “Where had you been today?”
“Look for a job.”
Lacey’s hands that were hung beside her body clenched together. Charles’ words made her nervous.
Out of no reason, why Charles called her and asked such a small matter.
Charles stayed calm and did not look at her, “Other than that?”
“What do you want to ask actually?” Lacey could not withstand it anymore.
He found out what she did today?
Charles put down the file that was inside his hands. He lifted his head and looked at Lacey, “Do you have anything that would like to tell me?”
If she could tell the truth and admit it, he believed that Loredana would give her a chance to turn into a new leaf.
Lacey laughed, “What do you want me to tell?”
Charles frowned. He felt like he did not acquaint her anymore. She was not like that before. She used to be honest and kind. Why she changed to become someone was who so ridiculous?
“I’m asking this for your good sake.” Charles voiced out his sincere words and earnest wishes.
He hoped that Lacey could realize her errors and mend her ways.
Lacey laughed even louder. With full of irony, she said, “You come and talk to me because of Ms.
Flores, right.”
Charles did not deny it.
“She has married, has children. She does not match you. Why you treat her so well?!” Lacey put her hands on the table suddenly and leant her body forward. That action reduced her distance from Charles. Looking into his eyes, “Yea, I did see her today and pushed her into the lake accidentally.
She’s got it all on her own. She doesn’t know who she is. She’s married, and she seduces you. She clearly has bad intention!”
Charles leant his body backwards on the back of his chair. He was disappointed.
He was disappointed in Lacey.
“How do you know she seduces me?”
“She’s married and she purposely entangles you. If there’s not called seducement, what shall I call it?”
Lacey spoke that loudly, she thought what she said was right and could not be refuted.
Charles laughed, “How do you know it’s not me who entangles her…”
“You’re not that kind of person. She must be the one who seduces you.” Lacey interrupted Charles before he finished his words.
She was stubborn, like having a mental illness.
Charles did not wish that she judged Loredana with prejudice. He had the responsibility to tell her the truth.
“I tell you seriously that Ms. Flores has never entangled me. It’s me who entangles her. She’s different from many women I’ve seen. She’s the most special woman that I’ve ever met. I like her. Even though knowing that she’s married, I can’t control myself from falling in love with her. If you want to blame someone, please blame me. Please don’t hurt her. You better admit your fault this time, she’ll forgive you…”
“Charles!” Lacey was triggered. She could not believe and was not willing to believe Charles’ words, “Has she beguiled you? How can you possibly like her?”
“Why I can’t like her?” Charles lost his patience.
Oil and salt could not enter, stubborn, not knowing how to distinguish right from wrong, could not use to describe her anymore.
It was scarier than going into a dead end.
“She’s not the perfect match for you!” Lacey screamed.
Charles thought that Lacey had been crazy while Lacey thought that Charles had been crazy.
“She’s pretty, kind, understanding, has her own job, has her own occupation, independent, while I’m a lame person, a poor person being adopted, why she’s not the perfect match for me? I think I’m the one who’s not the perfect match for her.”
“No, no…” Lacey shook her head strongly and caught Charles’ arm, “Charles, you’ve blinded by her.
She’s not supposed to be your beloved…”
Charles looked at her craziness and uncontrolled behaviour quietly, sneered, “Then you shall be my beloved?”
A scaring thunder struck across Lacey’s heart. She was frozen in place. She loosened her hands slowly. She was not the perfect match for Charles too. She was dirty. Her body was dirty.
Could not match him, could not match him anymore.
She was scared and lost. She stepped backwards continuously. She was worried that her dirty would contaminate Charles.
